If you are saying you updated a Linux guest then chances are that has included a kernel update, in which case you may need to reinstall the guest additions.

Thereafter, we are going to need more information to work from. The VBox.log file for the guest (zipped of course) is usually a good place for us to start.

How to reinstall the guest additions is in the user manual.

To get the VBox.log file:
mpack in other threads wrote:With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
