Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha2 as a guest on Ubuntu 9.10

The guest installs and runs fine, with currently version 3.1.4 (r57640) - and the guest tools say they have installed and compiled properly, but they do not work.
The X windows client and the shared folders client both are not working, though all the kernel modules are loaded and the user land daemons.
When I try a manual mount I get the following error:
root@nick-laptop:/sbin# lsmod | grep vbox

drm 156405 2 vboxvideo
vboxvfs 32908 0

Current kernel running on the host machine is:
2.6.31-19-generic-pae #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:29:51 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Current kernel running on the guest machine is:
2.6.32-13-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 10 21:24:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Just thought I would pass this information on, and if you need any further debug info, just let me know and I will sort it out.
Cheers

I have the same problem. I use Ubuntu 9.10, Virtual Box 3.1.4 and as guest system ubuntu 10.04, Alpha 3.
Guest additions are installable, but do not work.
Vbox still catches my mouse pointer, no full screen mode available etc.
Any ideas?
Some more Infos:
Kernel on Ubuntu 9.10: 2.6.31-20-generic
Kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 (Guest): 2.6.32-16-generic

Ok, now everything seems to work except mouse integration. Tried to insert
Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VBoxMouse"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it didn't work. I use a thinkpad X60. My mouse is a trackpoint. There seems to be no module called "vboxmouse". Any suggestions?

Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 is out, but the problem to install Guest Additions is still there
Windows 7 64-bit as a host, VirtualBox 3.1.4, guests Ubuntu 10.04 32/64 -bit - they worked before I tried to install guest additions, then crash of X server
Anybody knows whether the problem lays behind Ubuntu, or it is a VirtualBox issue?

Ok, new guest additions for Ubuntu and VBox 3.1.4 seem to be on their way. Accepted as Lucid-Package yesterday:

Ok, I now have guest additions working correct, but without the package from Felix. I followed those steps:
1. Install Lucid with all latest updates
2. Choose "devices / add guest additions"
3. Return to Lucid, open terminal
4. "sudo su"
5. cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.4_57640
6. ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
7. that installs additions
8. Open Synaptic
9. Install the following packages
2010-03-23 11:15:48 install dkms <keine> 2.1.1.2-0ubuntu1
2010-03-23 11:15:49 install fakeroot <keine> 1.14.4-1ubuntu1
2010-03-23 11:15:49 install patch <keine> 2.6-2
2010-03-23 11:15:49 install virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms <keine> 3.1.4-dfsg-2ubuntu1
2010-03-23 11:15:52 install virtualbox-ose-guest-source <keine> 3.1.4-dfsg-2ubuntu1
2010-03-23 11:15:52 install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils <keine> 3.1.4-dfsg-2ubuntu1
2010-03-23 11:15:52 install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 <keine> 3.1.4-dfsg-2ubuntu1
