These instructions are horribly incorrect and wrong.
As the developer of the OneDrive client for Linux, you are installing on Ubuntu 17.x in the non-supported way. Installing via sudo apt-get install onedrive
is not supported or recommended as this installs an old and unmaintained version.
You have 2 options to install on Ubuntu:
- Use the Ubuntu PPA
- Compile from source
These are your only options. Do not use the Universe package. For further details please refer to: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

No the package in Universe / PPA does not do this at all.
No, after the install, I was able to use the command line for about 12 hours until i launched the VM this morning, and was greeted by the UI
This all depends on how you are launching the VM / how did you do your VM install. Did you reboot from the installation media, walk away, and now it was sitting a clean install again ... maybe - totally plausible.
