VirtualBox GuestAddition issue

Post by yufuluo »

After installing the plugin (vagrant-vbguest) for GuestAdditions, Virtualbox was still spitting errors, mainly that it wasn't being able to mount shared folders. This was in version 5.1.20
Problem looked similar to :
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module. Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant
Errors disappeared after Virtualbox downgraded to version 5.1.18.

Not a "Suggestion". Moving to "Linux guests".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
