VirtualBox VM 5.0.40_Ubuntu r115130 linux.amd64 (Apr 20 2017 06:58:05) release log
You're using the Ubuntu's fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Downloads section of VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).

If you applied the recent updates, you most probably have to update to the latest test build: ≥120181 for 5.2.x (or ≥120178 for 5.1.x) that contains the fix.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
