I just installed the new version of Ubuntu - 16.04 LTS in a virtual machine - Virtual Box. My operating system is Windows 7, 64bits, Lenovo. I tried to install Guest Additions through the Menu installer: Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image ... . I followed the steps and this was the Mensagen that I noticed in the terminal: inserir a descrição da imagem aqui

I’ve done some research on this mistake but to no avail. Someone knows how to fix this?

    The question is not part of the scope of the site. Although this does not justify the downvotes, but rather the closure of it.

  • This command can help Voce: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms

Although it seems to be an off-topic question, the answer may be useful because even in super user, we did not find it.

Just run that line of code:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms //Yes para todas opções

An important note. Ubuntu version 16.04.1 does not seem to need guest Additions to maximize the Linux screen. What makes this line of code above seem unnecessary.

But if there is interest or need to share directories between windows host and linux guest, this code is indispensable.

To know the shared soble detlhes after this code, see this source: https://gist.github.com/igoralves1/eda8e0f2692e04d633effa833ae36e32
