Fail installing VBoxGuestadditions.iso on Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64

[Veje]

Hello:

I have installed virtualbox with

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.0_5.0.18-106667~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb

and the installation was completed fine.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dkms gcc 

Code: Select all

sudo mount  VBoxGuestAdditions_5.0.18.iso /mnt
cd /mnt 

and when I run sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run I get this error:

Code: Select all

...Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules ...done.
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.
Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions ...fail!
(modprobe vboxguest failed)

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Where exactly did you install the guest additions? They belong in the guest not the host.

Yep, I think than I was doing it wrong. I tried to install the VBoxGuestadditions in the host system

Thanks again
