Apologies for thread hijack, but I wanted to suggest a solution to the
Vbox guest addition + unity issue.

The problem is that the current PUEL version is not aware of the new
multi-arch filesystem layout of the system libraries in Ubuntu/Debian.

Create the following symbolic link for 11.10 32-bit guest then reboot.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib/dri

I don't have the 64-bit version installed, but I think the following
should work:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib64/dri

AFAIK, this issue is fixed with the Ubuntu supplied version and in the
latest OSE trunk.

Well... it was worth a try, but no joy. Thanks for the suggestion though.
BTW: I upgraded my natty test partition on the same laptop last night to
11.10, and that runs just fine (full 3D), so it is an issue with vbox.

Sorry, I forgot add that you'll need to reinstall the guest additions
after you create the link. I did a number things before stumbling upon
the multi-arch issue and thought that the link solution was the last
thing I did to get it working. Anyway, I retested on a fresh 11.10 vm and
after creating the link and then installing the guest additions, I
rebooted and was able to login to unity3d.

Here are the revised steps

1. create symbolic link from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri to /usr/lib/dri
2. install guest additions
3. reboot vm
4 . log into unity

Troubleshoot tip:
make sure in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri that there is the link
vboxvideo_dri.so --> /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so present.

Did & still the same.

It is.

~$ ls -al /usr/lib/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-10-25 17:14 /usr/lib/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so
-> /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so

I'll file a bug report on VB later in the week. Thanks again.
