To fix the current situation, I'd suggest to uninstall all VirtualBox packages from both repositories, to reboot the host, to make sure that the Ubuntu kernel header packages matching the currently running Linux kernel are installed, to make sure that the programs to compile kernel modules are installed (e.g. But it's up to the user to install only packages from one repository, and if they fail to do so, the mixture is not going to work. The Oracle VirtualBox package is named virtualbox-6.1, so that the name does not conflict with the Ubuntu VirtualBox package names. The commands add the Oracle repositories in addition to the Ubuntu repositories, so that "both" repositories are used by the apt commands.

Official non-forked Virtualbox does not use dkms, so no need to install that. Use the typical Linux methods to ensure that Virtualbox and GAs are completely gone.

Or it could be the really old Guest Additions. This can happen if the VM OS has "helpfully" pre-installed the GAs from their fork, then these preinstalled GAs are not completely uninstalled before new GAs are installed. My guess is that the Guest Additions are not installed correctly inside the VM OS.

They should be side by side to ensure the correct one and downloaded at the same time if it is needed. Even the download page is a mess of confusion, especially when it comes to understanding and finding the correct Guest Additions. The issue is understanding what everything does and how to use it. A tribute to Oracle’s VB is that it is actually a very simple SW to use. People Google search and find the Oracle website with these instructions and they don’t properly understand them, so they follow hundreds of other sites and blogs, most failed to resolve because they can not understand what is being said. This is because tremendously lots of people ask without web-searching first. ![]() Jonners59 wrote:the large number of queries on many websites and forums for this subject (one quoted some time ago he'd found 300 so far - as below)
