Public bug reported: As soon as I install virtualbox-guest-x11 in a ubuntu 17.10 vbox guest VM, I can't run anymore gnome-control-center. It just doesn't launch anymore.
Then if I logout, I can't login anymore. Then if I try to reboot, the VM does not boot properly and get stuck at trying to launch GDM. (starting GDM service...) That package should b considered harmfull,as it renders a VM unusable (until fixed ?) This has been reproduced and repeated.
