I use Windows 7 as host, and Ubuntu 12.10 Remix (Ubuntu with pure Gnome) as guest.
Everything working ok. I installed VBoxAdditions in regular way - using corresponding command in VirtualBox VM manager, and then running VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
script from mounted drive. Installation process also seems like OK.
BUT, in /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
I see this:
Uninstalling modules from DKMS

DKMS: add completed.

Then Im follow instructions and trying to install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic
, and getting this (last two lines in log after apt-get
):
Error! Problems with depmod detected. Automatically uninstalling this module.
DKMS: Install Failed (depmod problems). Module rolled back to built state.
