Aug 29, 2016 I'm trying mint 18.1 cinnamon on a windows 7 x64 os, 5.0.30 r112061. Same issue with software rendering mode; followed the guide here; additions uninstalled fine, restart, install from vbox fine. Reboot, same issue with software rendering mode. Sep 08, 2014 1- how to I find out “if running, shut down your Linux Mint VM (Virtual Machine)” and launch “In Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager alternate click your Linux Mint VM”. 2- rendering mode works great for installation if launched in safe prompt mode, but not on normal start up. I am in a bundle. Any help is really appreciated.

- What Is Software Rendering Mode
Trying mint for first time. Have used Ubuntu previously. I am a bit new to linux world. The background, problem and the steps I have tried for rectifying the same are as following..
1. Running VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733 on Windows 7 SP 1 host
2. Allocated resources for VM => HDD : 10 GB, Mem : 1536 MB, CPU : 2 with 100% execution cap, PAE/NX : Enabled, Acceleration : VT-x/AMD-v and Nested Paging enabled, Video Mem : 128 MB, 3D video acceleration : enabled
3. After installation there were some updates available, installed them also. (If i remember correctly then before updates I was not getting the message for software rendering mode, but I am not sure)
4. Tried installing VBox guest additions from Device => Insert Guest Additions CD Image, but no luck
Edit : 5. Also tried 'apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11' but issue was still present.
6. Cleaned all VBox package with 'sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*' and reinstalled with 'sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run' from cd image. Still no improvements.
Following are the outputs from recommended info commands..
Command => Output =>
Code: Select all
Virtualbox Linux Mint 19 Running In Software Rendering Mode
Command => Output =>
Code: Select all
I think the issue is ' drivers: ati,vboxvideo (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) ' from inxi command
and
'vboxguest: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel' from dmesg command.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
