Installing Guest Additions causing problems [duplicate]

I am trying to install Guest Additions in VirtualBox with Windows XP host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest. I followed the above steps:

Devices-> Insert Guest Additions CD Image.
After that I locate the folder /media/VBoxAdditions4.3.4_91027/
and run sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

I want to be able to create shared folders and adjust the resolution of the screen. I achieved to do the first issue, but I couldn't do the second one. I didn't get any message, however it is not possible to change the resolution of the screen and I cannot switch to fullscreen. What am I doing wrong?

I found in the instal log the following message: unknown version of the X Window System. I've tried the solution of the proposed link but I got the following message:

Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-guest-x11 : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
                    Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried also to install with the command sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms but nothing is changing. During the installation of dkms I got the message: Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel 3.13.0-32-generic(i686).

Solution 1:

Update

It seems that conradk solution is working so I'll post it here in the answer as well.

I did sudo apt-get remove libcheese-gtk23, then sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core and finally sudo apt-get install -f virtualbox-guest-x11. It solved problems for me

Scroll down and give him a vote up if this works for you.

I looked up your problem on google and this is what I found.

Just running the below will take care of installing the package and all its dependencies. However, it seems to be taking some time for it to complete, so be ready for a long wait.

Fix:

$ sudo apt-get -q -y -f build-dep virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms

This will install all dependencies for 'packagename' so it can build it.

After the building has completed just install it again by typing:

$ sudo apt-get -q -y -f install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms

You can read about the options for apt-get with $ man apt-get.
