Issues after installing KDE Plasma 5.6 in Ubuntu 16.04 as VM

I recently installed the Plasma desktop in Ubuntu by following the instructions from this link:http://www.tecmint.com/install-kde-plasma-5-in-linux/. I seem to have KDE installed correctly and can even get some applications working. However, when I try to open the software store, I can see it load on the taskbar, but it crashes after a few moments. I have also noticed that the taskbar previews come up blank most of the time. I've attached a dropbox link to a video that demonstrates these issues. Would these issues be due to the VM or the plasma desktop itself? Any ideas on a possible fix?

(Let me know if there any problems with the link)
 
I just tried Kubuntu. After installing parallels tools the plasma desktop doesn't come up: Plasma Desktop couldn't be started because it couldn't use OpenGL2... Any way to install parallels tools that this doesn't occure? I installed Kubuntu as Ubuntu... Would installing it as Linux other help, or is there no way that this works? OpenSuse (which uses KDE too) does work...
