Top posting because this is your obligatory reminder that a reliance of 3rd party kernel drivers is not recommended for Tumbleweed users
This is clearly documented on the Tumbleweed wiki - https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
The reason for this recommendation is precisely because of issues such as these - they happen and will continue to happen as long as the 3rd parties in question (Nvidia and Oracle/VirtualBox) do not keep up with the pace of Kernel development
Now I've said 'We told you so', I do hope this thread finds suitable workarounds for users who are affected, and if not, I'd strongly encourage the use of nouveau Nvidia drivers instead of the proprietary drivers, and the use of KVM instead of Virtualbox.
This is good advice in theory when it works :P at last I tried there was issues launching KDE due to a Qt graphics issue, given I can't find the bug report easily anymore (The subject was completely unrelated) maybe its fixed now. Either way from personal experience (yes I tried kvm for a while) if you need a desktop in your VM Virtual Box simply does it much better. But yes you need to deal with driver issues.
