Re: [PLUG] Virtual Box hard crashes desktop system

I take you to mean that it is possible that an upgrade in the package(s) from Ubuntu could have broken something. So I searched and found: https://askubuntu.com/questions/995804/ubuntu-16-04-virtualbox-5-0-host-crashes I always assume that problems I encounter are unique to my tiny corner of the
