I'm also using the Oracle Version of Virtualbox.

It is GNOME Desktop 2.30.0.

After a cold start, if I try to start a VM in Virtualbox, I get the
following pop-up:

Virtualbox -- Error in suplibOsinit

Kernel driver not installed (rc = -1908)

with the suggestion of running:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup


Of course, if I do that, it all works.  But after every reboot, it is broken
again.

With the screen blank issue, if I come back after a screen blank with a VM
running, the keyboard does not work at all.
