Some notes so I remember how to fix this problem if it happens again and I don’t waste a bunch of time figuring it out right before a customer production release. Not a great start to my day.
This issue happened to me many moons ago when I first upgraded to VirtualBox 6 and Ubuntu 18. This is the second time so I better write down what I did so I hopefully remember if it happens a third time.

I’m a sucker for GUI database clients. As a generalist it’s too hard to remember all the command lines for each individual database. Plus it’s really hard to view more then a few rows or columns of data in the command line.
