Because the server image of Ubuntu is a minimal installation with no desktop environment present, you have to install a GUI for Ubuntu first.
To do that on Ubuntu 16.04 Server, simply use the command:
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
After that you should get a login prompt in your GUI session. If that does not happen, you should reboot first.
After you have your desktop environment setup, you should reinstall virtualbox:
sudo apt install --reinstall virtualbox
Or if you don't have it as a package, download the .deb again and:
dpkg -i <.deb_file>
Which will most likely fail due to missing dependancies, in which case, you just need to run:
sudo apt install -f
And that should be it.
