You have been subscribed to a public bug:

It is not longer possible to select VirtualBox Guest Service in 15.04.
The only options available are:

  * Continue using a manually install driver
  * Do not use the device

The option 'Using x86 virtualisation solution - guest addition module'
is no longer selectable. See the attached screen shot. This is from a
fresh install of Ubuntu MATE 15.04 daily (20th March) and no drivers
have been manually installed.

In light of the Virtualbox issue where new installs on Virtualbox have a
resolution of 640x480
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1368784/)
this is going to be a frustration for many users.
