virtual-box services like clipboard and drag&drop fail after updating ubuntu

[liorkfir]

virtual-box services like clipboard and drag&drop fail after updating ubuntu using the update service.

i have a workaround for this. installing guest additions then running sudo /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all

it happens every time.

ubuntu 14.04 LTS running as guest OS under windows 7.

after automatic updates,virtual-box service like clipboard fails to run.

the workaround is re-install guest additions then run sudo /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
