Source: Issues removing and updating box additions with Virtualbox 4.3 #95 at GitHub To install it again: VAGRANT_LOG=info vagrant vbguest -do installįinally re-check by: vagrant vbguest -status. To uninstall guets addition in VM ( vagrant ssh), do the following: /opt/VirtualBoxGuestAdditions/uninstall.sh Note: Change new_version into the right one Or by installing it again in VM: vagrant vbguest -do installĪlternatively set the version which is recorded in VBox by: /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage guestproperty set "new_version" /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Version Then try updating your guest additions by: VBoxManage guestcontrol updatega|updateguestadditions|updateadditions Where can be found by VBoxManage list vms. Or for specific VM: VBoxManage guestproperty get /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Version (this last feature at least in guest win7).Check your host and guest version by: vagrant vbguest -status The correct resizing of screen and access to the shared folder In the VM as a CD device and you can access it and run In Storage, in controller IDE I put the path to the file The VB version this ISO file is in /usr/share/virtualbox.įinally in the settings of the VM (the VBGuestAdditions is to be installed in the guest) The VBGuestAdditions.iso has to be installed with the installation of VMīy checking in settings->user interface ->devices ->insert GuestAdditions CD image,īut in my case it did not so I searched this ISO file in the host and in the case I download from VB www the extension pack corresponding to this version,Īnd it is installed: I had access to USB devices.I installed the VB from the repositories of Ubuntu it is now(july2017) I read the VirtualBox User Guide corresponding to the version of VB installed. I had the same problem as you, I'll explain what I've done:
Opens standard ".deb"-Installer, respectively virtual box, to take care of the extension pack. How to install all of that? Double-click. Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.28.vbox-extpack The two offered extension packs are identical (same checksum), pick any: Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.28-117968.vbox-extpack (After abovemtioned 32bit nuisances, ) I got lucky with virtualbox-5.1_5.1.28-117968~Ubuntu~xenial_b
Thus it's probably best to download VirtualBox itself and the Guest Additions (now renamed/part of "Extension Pack" it directly from the highest 5.1.x version you can find here:
And adding 3rd party repos can get you unintendedly the 32bit version with an obscure error version, see this answer. If you intend to get and use Virtual Box 5.1 (not 5.0), at the time of writing, you won't afaik get it through apt.
