Just did a fresh upgrade of Ubuntu Mate from Xenial to Bionic.  The
guest packages were installed on the Xenial system prior to upgrade.
During the upgrade the guest packages were upgraded, NOT removed.

However, on the upgraded system the virtualbox-guest-utils.service was
NOT started but could be started manually.

Thus the original bug reported on this number still applies, although
all the other issues found on the way seem to have been addressed.

Title:
  virtualbox-guest-utils.service not starting

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am trialing various flavours of Ubuntu in Virtualbox virtual
  machines - Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate.  All version
  18.04, running on Kubuntu 17.10 host.  All set up identically as far
  as I can tell, with virtualbox-guest-dkms, virtualbox-guest-utils and
  virtualbox-guest-x11 installed in each guest.

  All work fine except that shared folders does not work in 2 of the
  VMs.  It works in Xubuntu, Ubuntu but not in Lubuntu and Ubuntu Mate.
  On investigation it appears that the virtualbox-guest-utils.service is
  not started automatically on the two versions not working.  If I start
  it manually everything is OK.

  Here is the status - 
  systemctl status virtualbox-guest-utils.service 
  ● virtualbox-guest-utils.service - Virtualbox guest utils
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/virtualbox-guest-utils.service; 
enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

  Looking in journalctl there are no messages showing that the service
  tried to start and failed.  There is nothing.
