Resolved this with help of irc user maerco, via command line parameter '--gles-driver=translator'
> First time running anbox session-manager --gles-driver=translator yielded Segmentation fault (core dumped).
> However, on the next reboot, anbox session-manager --gles-driver=translator did not crash. I then waited 1-2 minutes until disk activity in vm has stopped and then ran anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity --gles-driver=translator in another terminal window, which popped-up android applications screen.
