Grab a copy of the ISO from this virtualbox ticket. It appears the the latest version of Xorg breaks the virtualbox graphics driver.įortunately this is fixed in a test build of the virtualbox guest additions – version 4.3.7 (and later) together with installing the latest gcc library Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components. Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used done.ĭoing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions. done.īuilding the shared folder support module. Module compilation fails then this could be the reason.īuilding the main Guest Additions module. The headers for the current running kernel were not found. Instead in the terminal you see this error: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules It also appears all previous versions of virtualbox that is available in the repositories are also affected.Īttempts to reinstall the virtualbox guest additions does not fix the issue.

The latest updates of Ubuntu 14.04 is broken in virtualbox 4.3.6 – the screen no longer resizes and is fixed at a very low resolution. Sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms However – it is also likely that if you just download the 4.3.7 or later guest additions and install in your v4.2 or 4.3 series this should work – but remember this is an unsupported configuration.ĮDIT: 8/09/14 – as one commenter mentioned some people have been also had luck with the following package install: EDIT: 28/03/14 – Virtualbox 4.3.10 is now out – it is recommended to download this now together with 4.3.10 virtualbox guest additions and the issue below is resolved 🙂
