Description

I’m trying to install kivy on Ubuntu 16.04, which is running in a Virtual Box (Version 5.1.26r117224 (Qt5.6.2) ). This is the latest version of Virtual Box. The Host OS is Windows 10.

Disabling the 3D acceleration leads to another SDL2 error:

sdl2 - RuntimeError: b'GLX is not supported'
  File "/home/aadc/tf_python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kivy/core/__init__.py", line 67, in core_select_lib
    cls = cls()
  File "/home/aadc/tf_python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kivy/core/window/window_sdl2.py", line 140, in __init__
    super(WindowSDL, self).__init__()
  File "/home/aadc/tf_python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kivy/core/window/__init__.py", line 899, in __init__
    self.create_window()
  File "/home/aadc/tf_python/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kivy/core/window/window_sdl2.py", line 269, in create_window
    self.fullscreen, resizable, state)
  File "kivy/core/window/_window_sdl2.pyx", line 142, in kivy.core.window._window_sdl2._WindowSDL2Storage.setup_window (/tmp/pip-build-jka1zi38/kivy/kivy/core/window/_window_sdl2.c:2782)
  File "kivy/core/window/_window_sdl2.pyx", line 57, in kivy.core.window._window_sdl2._WindowSDL2Storage.die (/tmp/pip-build-jka1zi38/kivy/kivy/core/window/_window_sdl2.c:1872)

So maybe the error is anyhow related to the 3D acceleration (device), used by VirtualBox?

Code

Reproduce the issue in interactive python console:
