Public bug reported: My system had recently rebooted after a kernel update when this appeared. VirtualBox was not in use before or after the reboot. This bug appears similar to #1081307, but given it was posted 6 years ago, I'm reluctant to mark it as the same bug. The error message and the fact I'm using Nvidia graphics seems interesting, so I have to wonder if it's the same issue appearing again or somewhere else.
