The only available guide that I know of is the User Manual. It might not be fancy with graphics and animation, but it's accurate.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

It looks like you are really saying the install fails because VirtualBox is telling you that the kernel and headers are not correct. Run the two following commands in a terminal on the host and report exactly what they state:

Code: Select all

uname -r

ls /usr/src | grep $(uname -r)

It would also help if you posted the /var/log/vbox-install.log as an attachment here as well.
