Summary

I recently rebuilt my local Drupal 7 installation which already had drupalvm configured in the repo. I was previously using an older version of drupalvm so I updated to the most recent and then ran vagrant up. Everything seems to have provisioned and I'm able to access my local site. However every time I do a vagrant up I noticed that I'm seeing "GuestAdditions seems to be installed (6.1.16) correctly, but not running."

One change I did make to my local config.yml was to add the following to eliminate using vagrant-hostsupdater.

vagrant_plugins:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
  - name: vagrant-vbguest

Not a big deal ... but I have a similar error message for VBGUEST 6.1.18
Running:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=groovy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.10"
and VirtualBox Version 6.1.18 r142142 (Qt5.14.2) and Vagrant 2.2.13

Log:

Guest Additions got installed. However, they seem not be loaded correctly. Please restart the box running vagrant reload drupalvm

Restarting the VM makes no difference !!!
Thanks for this great software.

On my previous comment I think that the problem is related to this message from installing the plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
Vagrant v2.2.13 has a bug which prevents vagrant-vbguest to register probably.
vagrant-vbguest will try to do the next best thing, but might not be working as expected.
If possible, please upgrade Vagrant to >= 2.2.14

I will try with the newer version of Vagrant

[acasadoalonso]

Installing Vagrant 2.2.14 made no difference !!! except that the warning message disappeared of course !!!

The VM seems to working OK ... so not big deal !!!

I just built a new Vagrant instance and I am still getting :
" GuestAdditions seems to be installed (6.1.18) correctly, but not running. "
and then:
"Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. ..."

Vagrant ver: 2.2.16
VirtualBox ver: 6.1.18 r142142
Host Windows 10, Intel i7, 16 GB RAM
Guest os: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS

This issue is no longer marked for closure.

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=33,_netdev vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

: No such device

---

Commenting out the VirtualBox drive type in the Vagrant config file will let it start the machine correctly.

[jdilley]

any updates to this?

[geerlingguy]

Note that there are new box versions released as of last week for my other boxes. I haven't done an update to drupal-vm yet though :/

[geerlingguy]

I'm building a new version of the drupal-vm base box currently; will be posted here: https://app.vagrantup.com/geerlingguy/boxes/drupal-vm
