Not only you have the old (5.2.18) GAs installed, but you have the forked ones (_Ubuntu). You need to update the GAs in the guest, and keep them updated every time you update VirtualBox.00:00:21.437463 VMMDev: Guest Log: VBoxService 5.2.18_Ubuntu r123745 (verbosity: 0) linux.amd64 (Mar 8 2019 18:10:38) release log
