Are you on a 64 or 32-bit machine? Since Ubuntu 7.10 the additions for VMWare or VBox (or both?) are installed by default, I believe. Or I don't think I've had to do much special in either case. Make sure that your kernel is up to snuff with the latest ubuntu kernel, that you use the VBox from the repo through "Add/Remove..." and that you use the vbox guest modules that are right for your kernel.
after you update your system and reboot and see what your kernel is by typing uname -r the type sudo apt-get install virtualbox and then hit the tab button a bunch and you'll see your options. Be sure that for anything that has a choice of version numbers that you have the one that matches your kernel. Hope that helps.
