Description

Hi. I installed the latest Virtualbox version on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. After rebooting, the install completely bricks my OS. Unity and Taskbar are completely stripped off leaving me with a blank Desktop. This is a very serious bug. I had to reinstall my entire OS because of this.

Sorry about this, but I will close this ticket, as I suspect it is not something you will be keen to help us investigate and reproduce. Please re-open if I am wrong. Also, are you sure that this is because of VirtualBox? I have seen things like that happen to Ubuntu for no reason I could tell, but which did not seem to be related to VirtualBox. If you are unsure, a bit of internet searching for similar things will probably tell you more.
