crash in the attempt to login

Crash? What crashes? Host? VirtualBox? Guest? I see several warnings there before VirtualBox is even involved, so maybe it's a guest OS issue? Does this happen with a fresh installation of 18.04? I know it doesn't happen here, neither on other user's installations.

We're going to need a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:

• Gathering the necessary information:
  1. Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state).
  2. Observe the error, i.e. try to login and crash.
  3. Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
• With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
• Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Ok, I will collecgt Vbox.log as soon as possible
By the way as crash I mean: you reach the login screen, if the login mode is set to "Ubuntu on Xorg", if you attempt to login then you return back to the login page itself after a quick display of black screen. Instead if you try to login in "Unity" mode, you can reach the desktop.
With 3D acceleration disabled Ubuntu on Xorg works also.
I have not tried a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 installation

Ah, that's what you mean "crash". I get it. Yes, I think it's a known issue. I'll try to find the reference...
