Regarding the original service not starting problem. If I do a clean 18.04 install everything works OK. (Apart from Lubuntu where I couldn't get the installer to work.)
If I do a clean 17.10 install without the guest packages because of bug #1683043, upgrade to 18.04, install dpkg-dev, install the guest packages everything works. If I do a clean 16.04 install, add the guest packages, upgrade to 18.04 during which the guest packages are removed, re add the guest packages then Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu work. For Lubuntu and Ubuntu Mate the virtualbox-guest-utils.service does not start automatically but can be started manually. This situation is a bit artificial as the packages shouldn't be removed during the upgrade. I suggest we revisit this problem when the upgrade package removal problem is resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753430 Title: virtualbox-guest-utils.service not starting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1753430/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
