Title:
  Virtualbox guest additions isn't working properly in Ubuntu 16.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  ## Symptoms ##
  * OpenGL processing offloading is not supported(3D hardware acceleration is enabled in VM settings and is available on Intel Graphics host)
  * VBoxClient warns about "Failed to connect to the ViratualBox kernel service, rc=VERR_ACCESS_DENIED"(refer attached screenshot)

  ## Workarounds ##
  Install VirtualBox provided guest additions iso from the menu works

  ## Additional Information ##
  * I uses the VirtualBox from upstream on the host side, the version is 5.0.20
  * Note that the Ubuntu Kernel bundled with 16.04 has integrated VirtualBox guest modules(vboxguest, vboxsf, and vboxvideo specifically) for unknown reason, this bug is reproduced *without* the virtualbox-guest-dkms package(since the Additional Drivers interface doesn't provide me the option to do so(the option is greyed-out, refer attached screenshot))
  * I have another 14.04 VM and it's OpenGL offloading works, so it's not likely that the host isn't providing proper OpenGL functionallity
