If you have some time, can you try installing another Debian testing 
iso? Choose the netinst ISO for your architecture here:
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

This would help to understand if the problem is in LilyDev or in 
Debian. I guess it's the latter.
Probably some hardware/kernel problem. I'm just guessing, I never 
experienced these problems.

This is a problem of Virtual Box. I'm afraid that you should ask for 
help on Virtual Box forums.

$ aptitude show libvirt-bin

$ groups

Have you verified these points?
IIRC you are quite new to Linux and use Ubuntu in your host machine, 
right? Which version? Read this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html

In later versions of libvirt the correct group is libvirt (instead of 
libvirtd). That's the case for Fedora25, libvirt version 2.2.0.
