I have read those questions: Why can't I access a shared folder from within my Virtualbox machine? and Error: kernel headers not found. (But they are in place)

The second question equals mine, but the solutions there do not work.

I have a Kubuntu host with Lubuntu guest system. When I install the vbox guest additions the logfile states (as in the other questions):

  Uninstalling modules from DKMS
  Attempting to install using DKMS

  Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxguest/4.3.10/source ->
          /usr/src/vboxguest-4.3.10

  DKMS: add completed.

  Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

  Building module:

      echo >&2;                                                       \
      echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
      echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
      echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";      \
      echo >&2 ;                                                      \
      /bin/false)
  /var/log/vboxadd-install.log

I have virtualbox in version 4.3.10_Ubuntu (its the only version I have found in Kubuntus repos)

  • Download the latest VirtualBox version, it's already the 5. Make sure you installed gcc and g++ on your guest. – GTRONICK Jul 27 '15 at 19:57
