    The latest kernel upgrade has caused problems for some VB users. In my case, installing VB 5.2 solved them. Your mileage may vary.

    Re: virtualbox Failed to open a session for the virtual machine

    1. Make sure you have a backup of all your VMs. In fact, of all your important data.
    2. Try using an older kernel.
    3. If that doesn't work, try this: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=59357
    4. You may wish to post on the VB forums. They specialize in VB recovery. Explain your whole situation with lots of detail including the host OS, guest OS, details of kernel upgrade on host, VB version, etc. Always, the more info the better.

    My input was of very limited value, but I'm very glad you solved it.

    Good Luck and Happy Ubuntu-ing!
