You do not say which version of both (Ubuntu, VBOX) you are using.

Probably its the best to use VBOX and Extension Pack from VBOX Homepage. in newest version, because both must be installed in the exact same version. Version mixes or VBOX from Ubuntu Repos are known to work together.

I am confused.
Your host is kubuntu, not Ubuntu.
The extension pack is to be installed on the host, not in the guest
