Description:
Start vboxservice has no effect. The appropriate modules (in particular vboxsf) do not get loaded and time synchronisation doesn't work.
If I load the modules myself and run VBoxService as root everything works.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
5.0.12-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
systemctl start vboxservice
This task depends upon

What logs do you need?

This is caused by systemd-detect-virt reporting Virtualbox to be 'kvm' with system v228. Will be fixed in systemd v229, here is the upstream commit:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/050e65ada2e0023a1a4c953522f39846c6bdebf8

I think we already had a bug report about that, can't find it though.
