Ian (vallamost) wrote : Lightdm crashes after installing Virtualbox guest addition tools

After a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04.1 on Virtualbox, when I install the guest additions to it and reboot the lightdm display manager continually restarts and then errors out. I'm left the other tty terminals which sometimes do not work. Uninstalling the guest addition tools in /opt and rebooting fixes the issue.
