Update to the following packages in a VirtualBox Arch installation running the gnome desktop environment and VirtualBox Guest Additions (other relevant version numbers above):
Lastly, while I'm pretty sure X is hanging before it ever gets around to starting a gnome session, here are the version numbers of my gnome packages just in case they're relevant: Installed Virtualbox Guest Additions packages: Rolling back these four packages to previous versions after the update fixed the issue, so I'm assuming the conflict has to do with them and another element of the desktop environment (X, Guest Additions, or possibly Gnome): I'm using "~/.xinitrc:exec gnome-session" and 'startx' to launch the desktop environment, rather than gdm.Īt least one other user has experienced a similar issue: The screen goes black and hangs, the resolution never changes either. The system boots just fine, but my Gnome desktop won't launch. The latest version of virtualbox-guest-utils (4.2.6-1) and virtualbox-guest-modules (4.2.6-3) are installed through the Arch repository.
I am running Arch in VirtualBox 4.2.6 on an OS X 10.7.5 host. Updating to the package versions listed in the next section causes X to hang when started.
