Virtual Box Guest Additions not working as expected

0

I created a Ubuntu 14.04.5 virtual machine in Virtual Box 5.0.2, and my host machine is under LMDE 2.

Since a few weeks ago, everytime I create a new VM the guest additions won't work properly anymore: the Desktop is not resized when I widen the window, and sometimes the cursor won't even move until the corners of the window (I can't even select a different resolution in attached screencap).

Edit: actually it worked fine with Ubuntu 14.04.4 and 14.04.3. I noticed the Guest Additions run gives a warning: "The headers for the current running kernel were not found." (screencap). Looking for some missing dependency in 14.04.5.

Just to be clear: you are installing guest additions on every new guest VM you create, right? – n8te – 2017-06-14T09:38:13.880

Yes, so I can resize the screen (normally) and use bidirectional copy/pastes, mainly – rioualen – 2017-06-14T10:17:06.783
