I have dual booted Ubuntu Linux 12.04.1 LTS on my Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook, and am trying to run/install Oracle VirtualBox (from the generic .run file downloaded from their website). However, every time I try to run it (as root from the command line), it gives me the following error occurs:

Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.

The current kernel version is 3.4.0

Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.

I have tried the version from the Software Center, as well as the command line installation, both of which gave me errors based on my linux-headers/linux-kernel/linux-[kernel]-image.

Here's an error I keep getting (on the command line):

First Installation: checking all kernels...
