Tried the upstream header kernel `linux-headers-4.19.0-041900rc5`, which wasn't being displayed as an option in grub's advanced menu. There was no error after installing with `$ sudo dpkg -i lin...deb`, so assumed upstream was installed.
To confirm the bug is due to 4.15.0-34, I rolled back to 4.15.0-33 and tested VirtualBox. I can confirm VirtualBox 5.2 - 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5.9.5) - works under kernel 4.15.0-33. Let me know if you would like me to retry any installations of upstream linux headers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791935 Title: Oracle VirtualBox failed to boot (kernel-bug-exists-upstream) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello Ubuntu Team, I already reported one of bug related to my new Ubuntu 16.04 installation [1], which has to do with the touchpad not working at all after fresh installation of ubuntu 16.04.
