updating guest additions on headless box

[strycat]

I'm trying to follow the instructions given in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18012

The first thing I tried was:

Code: Select all

$> VBoxManage guestcontrol vagrant-php1 updateadditions --source /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

which failed with the following error:

VBoxManage: error: Guest additions update failed
VBoxManage: error: Detected guest OS (Linux) does not support automatic Guest Additions updating, please update manually
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0009), component GuestSession, interface IGuestSession
VBoxManage: error: Context: "RTEXITCODE handleCtrlUpdateAdditions(GCTLCMDCTX*)" at line 3343 of file VBoxManageGuestCtrl.cpp
VBoxManage: error: Error details:
VBoxManage: error: Detected guest OS (Linux) does not support automatic Guest Additions updating, please update manually
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0009), component GuestSession, interface IGuestSession

The next thing I tried was:

Code: Select all

$> VBoxManage storageattach vagrant-php1 --type dvddrive --medium /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso --storagectl IDE --port 0 --device 0

which also failed with this error:

VBoxManage: error: No drive attached to device slot 0 on port 0 of controller 'IDE'
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "MountMedium(Bstr(pszCtl).raw(), port, device, pMedium2Mount, fForceUnmount)" at line 731 of file VBoxManageStorageController.cpp

I need to do this via the command line as I want Vagrant to automate this when it brings up a new VM. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but we don't support vagrant. They change too many things and use special scripts that are unknown to us making it too time consuming to diagnose.
