16.04 guest on 16.04 host - “VBoxClient: Failed to connect to the VirtualBox kernel service,...
I have Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS amd64 host with Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1.30-118389~Ubuntu~xenial from their repository.
I have created Ubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64 guest in VBox. Installed all updates here with aptitude. Also I installed virtualbox-guest-x11
(version 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 from multiverse repository) to guest.
After logging in to the VM I get the following notification:
Why this happen?
Should I install the same version (5.1.30) of guest additions as host VirtualBox?
16.04 apt virtualbox

How I got it working for me:
My setup:
VirtualBox 6.0.4
Host machine - Ubuntu 18.04
Guest machine in virtualbox - Kali 2019.1 kernel version 4.19.0
Install needed packages with apt on GUEST machine
apt-get install build-essential virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-dkms
After this, run:
VBoxClient --clipboard
Also, make sure that you have enabled Shared Clipboard from Settings>General>Advanced on the HOST machine.
Now it should be working :)
