Could you please help solve this problem? Thanks!

Ok, the only solution I can find is to downgrade VirtualBox to 5.2.8

@allochi FWIW I am using 5.2.14 successfully which is also the default version of the client provided in nixos.

@PierreR is there a recommended way to override that guest addition version?

config.vbguest.auto_update = false seemed to solve most of the problem for me (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/37560913/320546)
