vagrant up failing to upgrade guest vbox version

[Donald Raikes]

Hello,

I just upgraded both virtualbox and vagrant on my windows 10 system.

Virtualbox is not version 6.1.4
vagrant is 2.2.7

when I use vagrant up on an oraclelinux 7 box, it says the host
edition isand guest vbox editions are mismatched, and it is unable to
mount the shared folders.

This used to work on my older configuration so is it just something to
do with the newer vagrant or virtual box?

the error message I am getting is:
Mounting shared folders...
ol7-vagrant: /vagrant => V:/7

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


The error output from the
command was:


/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Donald

hello

seems the box you are using is not having virualbox guest additions installed.

you could try to install them and see if works, or build your own box ready to use.

Thanks for the suggestions, but because I am using a lot of the
vagrant boxes from Oracle's repository, I need to stick with their
default boxes.

I can try to do the install manually, but I am not certain howwhat
packages to install or uninstall :)

you can try the vbguest plugin

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

then vagrant reload 

or vagrant up
