Missing vboxvideo driver

[Stephen P. Molnar]

I am running the following on my Win7 Pro laptop. VirtualBox installed
without any problems as did the Debian Testing distribution. However I
am getting errors when I run some of the applications that I depend on
for my work.

The programs (among others) are:

Debian Testing Jessie/sid
VirtualBox v-4.3.18r96516
MGL_Tools v-1.5.7rc1
Avogadro v-1.0.3

There seen to be some errors in common:


libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found
libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo
opengl extension GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil is not present
opengl extension GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil is not present

The reason for addressing this list is the missing vboxvideo driver. I
have Googled that error which resulted instructions for installing VBox
in the Linux guest. This did not solve the problem.

I should mention that both of the applications work on my Debian Wheezy
based computer.

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Stephen,

What you need likely need installed are the GUEST ADDITIONS in Virtualbox.
Did you install those?

Follow the steps provided here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp54739648

Basically, for Debian, do as root

apt-get install dkms make gcc linux-headers*

Then mount the guest additions .iso file to your virtual machine, and
change to the directory (cd)
where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:

sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
