Chrome fails to render

Reported by rhbvkl...@gmail.com, Apr 23 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 49.0.2623.108-0ubuntu1.1233
Other browsers tested:
    Firefox: OK
OS/system:
Xubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Fully up to date
In Virtualbox with guest additions 5_5.0.18_106667 (!!)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Install chromium-browser or chromium-browser-dbg on Xubuntu 16.04
(2) Open chromium browser
(3) Look at black and white boxes and sometimes other icons/pictures

What is the expected result?
Render actual UI and webpage

What happens instead?
Nothing rendered but instead black and white boxes and sometimes an icon (from scroll bar or something).

I have been able to verify the browser actually works. When I guess where text input elements are, I can click on them and input text. On the title bar I am also able to see that a page change is occurring when I search on google for example.

When I make a screenshot in the OS, the chrome window appears blank.

This also happens in google chrome.

Hardware configuration:
Host system:
CPU: I7-6700k (z87 PCH)
RAM: 16GB
GPU: GTX970
OS: Win10 build 14295.1004 (Insider build)

Guest system:
CPU: quad core
RAM: 4GB
Paravirtualization: Standard
VRAM: 128MB
3D acceleration enabled.

Console log and screenshot attached.

When I disable 3d acceleration it works. It might have to do something with OpenGL and that I am running an openGL application on my host computer? In that case a VBox bug?

Comment 2 by rhbvkl...@gmail.com, Apr 23 2016

After shutting down all OpenGL applications on the host, and having 3d acceleration enabled, it still doesn't work.

Chrome not playing nicely with VBox GPU?

VBox GPU:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
        Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Kernel driver in use: vboxvideo
        Kernel modules: vboxvideo

Turns out this is a problem from Virtualbox and Linux. This bug report can be closed and needs to be fixed by Virtualbox. OpenGL acceleration is not working properly in Linux guests.

Workaround is disabling 3d acceleration.
