[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1434579@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package virtualbox - 4.3.26-dfsg-2ubuntu1

---------------
virtualbox (4.3.26-dfsg-2ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Re-work the packaging to account for the kernel modules being shipped in
    the master kernel packages, removing the need for dkms (LP: #1434579):
    - Make the dkms package provide a virtual package matching what the
      kernel packages provide to indicate that they ship the dkms modules.
    - Add an alternate dep from the utils package to the virtual driver.
    - Make the x11 driver package associate with the VGA controller PCI ID.

Title:
  Unable to install VirtualBox Guest Service in 15.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
