I've been trying various things - not sure if they help or confuse! Firstly I should clarify one thing. For these trials Xubuntu and Lubuntu are 32 bit, the rest all 64 bit. I did not think this relevant as originally one 32bit worked, one didn't, one 64bit worked, one didn't.

I have tried to do a clean 8.04 install using the daily builds and then install the guest packages as above. The results are as follows:

Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate all worked as expected.

Lubuntu - couldn't get the installer to work.

Xubuntu - installed OK and the tried to install the guest packages. This failed with the following message:

Loading new virtualbox-guest-5.2.8 DKMS files...
Building for 4.15.0-10-generic
Building initial module for 4.15.0-10-generic
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-10-generic (i686)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/5.2.8/build/make.log for more information.

I attach the log referred to.

However, despite the error everything worked!

The above does not really equate to the work I was carrying out. I am part way through installing 16.04 VMs and updating to 18.04 and will report soon.
