How to get Software Update to automatically grab kernel source along with kernel update?

  • 772

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10. For some reason, every time there's a kernel update, it does not install the linux-headers-* and linux-header-*-generic into /usr/src anymore. So every time I update my virtual Ubuntu in VirtualBox, I have to manually install the kernel headers before running the Guest Additions package again.

I'm pretty sure 12.04 automatically installed kernel headers because I never had to do that before. How do I fix this?
