Installing a new LL VM, or updating a running LL VM.
Be aware that updating virtual box guest will cause your LL VM to crash for one/or/all of at least three reasons on some machines. Best to follow the workaround below.
When installing:
Do NOT choose to update or install third party software during installation.
Do NOT enable auto-login during the installation process.
Do NOT update after installation until you HOLD virtual box guest additions updates.
If you have a running an LL VM now HOLD the virtual box guest additions before updating. See below.
sudo apt-mark hold virtualbox-guest-dkms
sudo apt-mark hold virtualbox-guest-utils
sudo apt-mark hold virtualbox-guest-x11
This bug does not affect all users but is significant enough to report as such.
