    Question VirtualBox Guest Additions won't install!

    I'm having some trouble with installing the Guest Additions in my virtual machine in VirtualBox. Xubuntu 8.04 is running on the virtual machine and when I try to execute the install script (VBoxLinuxAdditions.run) as root I get this:

    Code:
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.
    Uncompressing VirtualBox 1.5.6 Guest Additions Linux Installation....
    .....................................................................
    ..................................................
    VirtualBox 1.5.6 Guest Additions installation
    ./install.sh: 73: cannot create /var/log/vboxadd-install.log: permision deni
    ed
    cat: /var/log/vboxadd-install.log: No such file or directory
    Error creating log file! Aborting...
    What am I doing wrong?

    Nevermind, I found out what to do (run sudo instead of fakeroot). My bad.
