Bug#982353: contrib/testing64 crashes on Vbox 6.1 when updated to kernel 5.10 due to deprecated use of graphic card

That could probably considered a vagrant issue. I found that it is a non-issue with 4.x up to 5.9, but 5.10+ is not compatible with the default choice. Not sure if the suggested graphics controller is vmsvga only in 6.1 or depending
on the host graphic card...

It should be possible to change the OVF of the Vagrant Box or add this to the default Vagrantfile.

Just to better understand your use case, why are you building the virtualbox guest additions ? This should not be needed anymore since kernel 5.6, see https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.6#Support_for_VirtualBox_guest_shared_folders
or am I missing something ?


Well, it is automagically done by vagrant at provisioning time for the debian/testing64, maybe because the local Virtualbox installation has the extension installed?

This is now the (working) stanza used:

	config.vm.define "testing" do |vm5|
	 vm5.vm.box = "debian/testing64"
	 vm5.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.20"
	 vm5.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb5|
	   	vb5.memory = "4096"
		vb5.name = "testing"
		vb5.cpus = 2
		vb5.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--graphicscontroller", "vmsvga"]
	 end
	end
