Bug Description
I'm running a 16.04 KUbuntu guest on a Windows 10 host. Today I updated the virtualbox guest packages and now KDE doesn't display (only a black screen).
If I SSH into the machine using Putty and Xming I can run xcalc but trying to run kate generates the message: "failed to get the current screen resources". There is also an error related to loading virtualbox in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

- KDE won't display after updating + Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs |
