Bug#922450: virtualbox: resuming a saved VM state of Linux guest operating systems fails
A further update: I just reinstalled Linux Mint 19.1 from scratch (the live image iso) and that worked.

They do not show up in the VB manager and not in the guest host either (when I boot it from scratch). Also nothing in /etc/fstab in the guest... is there another place where shared folders are described, or some other way I can see if it tries to mount anything? > Try it with the 5.24 version from virtualbox-guest-additions-iso > Where do I get that? > I extract it from the debian package and since then it works again > What should I extract? And what then? Since it was not showing any mapped folders, I created one, and saved the VM state and tried to restore the saved state, but same error :( Egon

Hello Egon!
I had the same problem and there is already a bug report.
I believe that you have mounted shared folders?
Try it with the 5.24 version from virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
I extract it from the debian package and since then it works again

Bug#922450: virtualbox: resuming a saved VM state of Linux guest operating systems fails
Package: virtualbox
Version: 6.0.4-dfsg-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am running Debian Testing and since recently (1-3 weeks?) an update of
VirtualBox (I think the version that restored the "Start/Resume" buttons
that got missing some months ago), restoring saved states for Linux guests
started failing with this error (the first line is in Dutch, and the
translation is below the error message), for example here for a VM with the
name "My VM":
Het is niet gelukt een sessie te openen voor virtuele machine My VM.
The VM session was aborted.
Resultaatcode:NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:SessionMachine
Interface:ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}
The first line says: "It was not possible to restore the virtual machine My
VM". And
"Resultaatcode" is simply "Result code", or something like that.
It's (sadly) quite reproducible. Linux guess VMs included Linux Mint 19 and
Debian 6.0.10.
After that, I updated Linux Mint to 19.1, reinstalled the guess additions (I
tried both
the 5.x deb from Linux Mint 19.1 and the downloaded .iso), but with no
change in behavior. BTW, downloading the .iso for Linux Mint 19 and 19.1 also
fails at
around 80% with an "Unkown error".
I have run out of ideas on how to resolve the issue, and tried to rule out
version conflicts.
Of course, what I expect is to guest systems to just restore without this fail.
