Wirezfree,
That shouldn't be necessary on standard install of LL using VBox version installed from "Install Additional Software". Is that what you have and did you have some kind of problem trying to run it afterwards?
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you have to mess with any of that unless you upgrade to a different Linux kernel on your LL host system and have installed a different than above version of VBox. Is that something you did by any chance?
I seem to remember having to do what you're talking about a while back when I ran a non-standard version of VBox on a different distro that I had set to pull in kernel upgrades. Every time a new kernel came out, I would have problems with VBox and had to manually fix. I did same thing on different computer, but used the VBox PPA instead of just downloading and installing a VBox package. Pretty sure that when I did that, I no longer had that problem because the PPA would pull in the updates for VBox whenever kernel got updated. VBox website should have info on doing that.
