Hi Jarkko,
journal.txt sent off-list.
I am using 4.3.22, that's why it's annoying me. I'm aware that Debian's
repos are very outdated ("stable") for user-facing applications like
browsers, VMs, office, etc., so I downloaded directly from VirtualBox.org.
Thanks for your time, hoping some solution can be found. The journal
output looks informative about the failure to launch a user-session but
it's not a system I understand enough to fix, nor do I have time to
spare to learn the inner workings of SystemD just to get a VM going. :)

Which Virtualbox version are you using? Please note that some Linux
distributions have very old Virtualbox versions in their package
repositories. For example the Debian Wheezy package repository contains
Virtualbox 4.1.18, which was originally released in 2012. So I would
first suggest trying out the Virtualbox 4.3.22 from virtualbox.org:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads.
If you have the same issue with Virtualbox 4.3.22 and can SSH into the
emulator, could you share the system journal output (sudo journalctl
--system > journal.txt) of the emulator?

The error messages displayed, ie.:
> [ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed
> systemd-fsck[62]: system: clean, 23245/262144 files,
244244/1048575 blocks

don't appear to have any bearing on your issue [1][2].
