I'm getting the same thing on a macOS host. I think it may be from using VBoxVGA instead of VMSVGA for the .ova.

It looks like it's from this bug in KDE:

Hello @davidak :wave:

It seems like this issue has been resolved. If it is resolved would you be able to close this issue?

(I'm going trough issues marked as stale to see what can be triaged. If this issue still exists then don't mind me.)
