Linux - Error installing Guest additions from Virtual Box on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Windows 7 [closed]

-1

I just installed the new version of Ubuntu - 16.04 LTS on a virtual machine - Virtual Box. My operating system is Windows 7, 64bit, Lenovo. I tried installing Guest additions through the Menu installer: Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image .... I followed the steps and this was the message that I received in the terminal:

I did some research on this error but failed. Anyone know how to solve this?

Although it seems to be an off-topic question, the answer might be helpful because even in super user, we can not find it.

Just run this 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 in sharing directories between windows host and linux guest, this code is indispensable.

To learn about the soble sharing after this code, see this source: link
