Hi,

I know this is everlasting issue and questions, but I failed to do that again. Sorry in advance.

On VM start I got this message:
vboxclient: the virtualbox kernel service is not running: exiting.

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
prints active(exited)

I tried to use every googleable howto. I installed
yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
yum install kmod-VirtualBox-$(uname -r) kmod-VirtualBox

and it seemed that I have correct versions of kernel and kmod. Still virtual box additions fails to install with: unable to find sources of your current linux kernel.

uname -r
4.3.4-200.fc22.x86_64

yum search kmod-VirtualBox
========================= N/S Matched: kmod-VirtualBox =========================

and version for '4.3.4-200.fc22.x86_64' is already installed.


What am I doing wrong?

Please post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip, and attach the zip here.

You are using someone elses fork of VirtualBox. If you want support on the VirtualBox forums then you need to be using VirtualBox. You can download VirtualBox from the Downloads page of this site. If you don't want to do this then you need to seek support on the site of whatever fork this is.

In the case of Ubuntu：
Reinstall the GuestAdditions.
1. Ubuntu guest is in the OFF state.
2. Open the settings in the virtual box manager.
3. Storage on the controller: create an empty optical disk to IDE.
Please delete if there is GuestAdditions CD. And create an empty disk.
4. To start the Ubuntu guest.
5. To log in to Ubuntu.
6. Choose Insert Guest Additions CD Image in the device menu.
7. After you install the Guest Additions while looking at the description.

a) SORRY about that fork. I used dnf install and did not check.
b) I reinstalled virtualbox using your link. I was surprised how better it is (even if it should be the same). I technically do not need additions now, but trying to add them fails with same message. Log in attachment. If you can help me with that, it will be great.

Thanks.

I'm quite sure that is not the correct Guest Additions ISO. Please follow the instructions for installing the GAs given in the user manual.
