I have installed virtualbox on windows 8 and started ubuntu 14.04 version as virtual machine on virtualbox. Now, through a terminal, I used the commands sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11 and sudo apt-get install mininet. Both did not work. It gave these sorts of errors:

E: unable to locate package mininet/virtualbox-guest-x11

How to resolve this?

    mininet is in the universe repos. Is this enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list? Otherwise, did you perform sudo apt-get update before?

According to your error message you did not install either mininet or virtualbox-guest-x11 but rather you tried to install a nonexistent package called mininet/virtualbox-guest-x11. The correct command to install them both from the terminal is:

sudo apt-get install mininet virtualbox-guest-x11

...or you can also install them both from the Ubuntu Software Center.
