I hope this is the right forum . . .
I have various problems since a recent opensuse update and/or a VirtualBox update.
Setup
13.2 opensuse previously running well. Vbox 5.1.14 (updated directly from vbox.org as usual), running W10 guest (which is working perfectly).
Symptoms
Plasma links fail (no type) after normal operation, same for other launchers including konsole, shutdown options fail, mouse fails. Open apps freeze. Obliged to crash manually.
Error msg seen first day:
“Unable to save bookmarks in /home/c_______n/.local/share/user-places.xbel. Reported error was: 5… This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive.” However the home partition is only 8% occupied. I also see various “Input-output error” signs.
Happens on first or second wake-up from Sleep. Has occurred before, after core KDE updates. Usually fixes itself after shutdown and boot once or twice. This time it persists.

Vbox Manager insists the guest additions are correct and they work perfectly in the guest. For good measure I reinstalled the correct guest additions to be sure.
