You have installed an old set of the Guest Additions (GAs) in the guest. Not only that, but they are the fork version, the one that comes with Ubuntu as their default. You need to uninstall/delete/purge them and install the official ones that come bundled with your VirtualBox.VirtualBox VM 5.1.24 r117012 darwin.amd64 (Jul 17 2017 17:30:14) release log 00:00:12.390240 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 5.0.40 r115130 '5.0.40_Ubuntu'
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
