Virtualbox 6.x w/ GuestAdditions 5.x - Vagrant box
Posted: 16. Mar 2020, 22:30
Hi,
Recently I setup a Vagrant 'box' based on generic/centos7 (from roboxes.org), which in more familiar terms (those who are unfamiliar with Vagrant) means a Virtualbox guest VM using an image based on CentOS7 Minimal ISO w/ 2 vCPU, 2GB vRAM, 1 NAT vNIC etc. My host is Windows 10 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and Virtualbox is 6.1.2. Vagrant does the 'automagical' creation of the Virtualbox guest with the right image and settings as defined above.
What I noticed on the guest VM is running Guest Additions version 5.2.34r133893 ! It seems that guest additions are working as expected -- well based on lsmod output, i.e.
Is that really expected to work ? That is, do 5.x guest-additions work with 6.1 Virtualbox ?
cheers.

Code: Select all
[vagrant@centos7 yum.repos.d]$ lsmod | grep vboxguest
vboxguest 311499 2 vboxsf
[vagrant@centos7 yum.repos.d]$ sudo /usr/sbin/VBoxService --version
5.2.34r133893
cheers.
