plasma starting error message window

Trying to log in into wayland-session in my Kubuntu 18.04 VM it fails showing me a black screen and a message window telling the following:

"Plasma unable to start as it could not use OpenGL 2. Please check that your graphic drivers are set up correctly".

X-session works well without any issues.

As described in the message.

On X they'll be using GLX, on wayland they'll use EGL. Yours clearly aren't working.
