Hello, LocutusOfBorg. In version virtualbox-guest-x11 (5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) line 26 of the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient now reads: notify-send "VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting."
In version virtualbox-guest-x11 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) line 26 of the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient still read: true # "VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting." It is imaginable that it is the notify-send is what makes Linux Mint 18.x malfunction. Maybe reverting to the old statement true # "VBoxClient: the VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting." would work around the issue. Sadly, I cannot really test myself at the moment. The latest update of mintupdate has not only uninstalled the 3 virtualbox-guest-* packages, but also made sure they cannot be re-installed at all. Unless I find a way of reverting this specific package ban I may not be able to try myself at all.
