Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The Open Source Edition of VirtualBox is currently available in Ubuntu and the you can install the guest addition in your VM of Ubuntu 10.04 and up by installing the package: virtualbox-ose- guest-x11 (if you are using the desktop flavour of ubuntu). The guest additions are available for previous releases as well and newer versions are available via the backports (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) for some releases of Ubuntu. I have tested the ose additions with the non-ose version of VirtualBox and they seem to function properly as well, however the proprietary version of VirtualBox are packaged and licensed by Oracle, so any support issues with those editions should probably be sent to them. Thanks again for your bug report.
