Thanks ewemoa. It seems the issue for me was as simple as disabling 3D acceleration. I can now boot into the LiveCD on VirtualBox without issue.
This is on the 14.10 Plasma5 edition.

I had a Mint 17 Mate VM. I followed directions to install and build Plasma 5.1. It seemed to do all the steps. But I can find no way to switch the Window Manager. The logon screen has no button to choose the WM. I notice in the settings it has a check box to allow software composition themes. That's the only hint of anything resembling Aero. It's very frustrating.
I guess the next attempt would be to download Mint 17 KDE edition and try to update it if it installs OK.

I saw instructions on Kubuntu's website to install Kubuntu Plasma 4 and then use apt-get (or something similar) to update to Plasma 5. Is that an option for you?
