However, I suggest to start the installation from the command line in order to get more verbose output from the installation process. This way it is easier to troubleshoot any possible issues you encounter.

To do so run the following command:

$ cd /run/media/`whoami`/VB*

Change to the root user and begin installation:

$ su
# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

if successful you should see the following output:

Installing additional modules ...
