Virtualbox >= 6.0.2: Unity crashes on startup
I am using a barebones Ubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox, macOS host. Up to VirtualBox 6.0.0, everything was working fine. But with VirtualBox 6.0.2 and 6.0.4, Unity crashes on startup. In ~/.xession-errors I see lines similar to
upstart: unity7 main process (3256) killed by SEGV signal
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (3290) killed by SEGV signal
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (3324) killed by SEGV signal
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (3358) killed by SEGV signal
Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it specific to my setup? Is there any other solution than downgrading to VirtualBox 6.0.0?
Turning off 3D acceleration in VirtualBox fixes the problem, but also makes Ubuntu unusably slow.

This bug report should enlighten you. There's a bugfix available via guest additions beta version:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18325
If the direct link to the beta ISO mentioned there does not work - there's a link on "test builds", just look there for the latest version:

Sadly the guest additions link references there is no longer working, so I can't try it. Hopefully this will be in 6.0.6 (or whichever version is next).

I downloaded test build 129045 for macOS, and installed the guest additions contained within ("6.0.5"). Unfortunately, the problem is still present in this version.

I also tried the guest additions test build revision 129041. It also does not work.
