@Duckeenie,
Many Thanks...
Can you fill in a couple of blanks.?
> Where did you down load from.? Virtualbox Wiki or Synaptic.
The dkms, from what I have read takes care of VBox when you update the Kernel.
Maybe it gets installed along with VBox on a new install.?
Have you installed the "Extension Pack" also on the above wiki page?
It's a download, then use VBox File > Preferences > Extensions to install it?
Have you installed the "Guest additions" in your 12.04 Guest.?
I'm on 4.3.32, the last in 4.x series
I installed it manually early in the year using instructions on the above VBox wiki page,
It then proceeded to update it'self whenever an update was available via the normal "LL Install Updates".
I was hoping it was going to do that for 5.x, but it appears not to want to.
