However, getting the following results in terminal:

Have you made sure that the script is executable?

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

I believe that, being the file within VBoxGuestAdditions.iso that’s intended to install the Guest additions, it should already be executable.

Following your suggestion, did the following:

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Copy /media/cdrom to /tmp/ga for example and try to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run from tmp directory. At least until somebody figures out why the script can’t be run from original mounted location.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Thanks @rbh but seems it still didn’t work:

vboxadd-setup.log contents are the same as those of my prior post.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

@pstrg, you need to install the matching version of headers for the kernel. You need to install the headers for the 4.9.0-11-amd64 kernel in the guest.

@DeepDayze, it’s really tricky.
After installing kernel headers, I’ve been asked to install gcc make perl packages, but still no success:

This will install all the packages necessary to compile the modules. This is not installed by default.

sudo: unable to execute /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: Permission denied

As I wrote before, when installing guest additions from the iso, run the installer through the shell:

[. ]
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until
the system is restarted
paulo@helium:

You have now installed needed packages before you installed Guest additions, as descibed in section 4.2.2.1, on page https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#additions-linux. The installer informed you that:
«Running kernel modules will not be replaced until the system is restarted».
So, Guet additions should bre ok after restart.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Just done it again (please see below) but still can’t see the shared folder after rebooting.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Just done it again (please see below) but still can’t see the shared folder after rebooting.

Done what? reinstalled Guest additions?

You did not try the recommende command, «If you suspect that something has gone wrong,»:

My latest WM, an BL Lithium responds on that command with: «modprobe vboxsf failed».

So, shared folders is not working on that machine. But all other things work, like usb3 support and shared clipboard and so on.
I have not had time to to investigate and it’s not an hurry to do it, as I’ve set up NFS instead.

You could check, if it’s only vboxfs that don work.

Also, whats OS on host? Which virtualbox version on host, also 6.1?

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Host is Windows 10; VirtualBox is 6.1.0.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

I’ve just conducted quick test, everything seems to be in order: Windows 10 machine, VBox v6.0, BL He vitual machine.

Have you set auto-mount and proper paths in Vbox VM machine settings? This works for me:

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Yes, auto-mount, proper path, Windows 10, VirtualBox 6.1.0.
In fact, have been able to do it with PeppermintOS; used the very same settings on VirtualBox side.

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Check the log files, maybe we could see something useful there. Here’s how those look in my case.

VBox.log.1 (log file in VM «Logs» directory) shows these lines:

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

There is nothing regarding «SharedFolder» in the pasted log, can you confirm that there is no entries in the entire log containing that keyword?

In any case, can you hit this command in Bunsen Labs and report the result:

If this fixed your problem we need to make that module load automatically every time after (re)boot:

This would indicate that Guest additions install is somehow broken. The steps I follow to minimize problems when installing VBox GA on Debian guest are these:

BunsenLabs welcome script offers this option right at the start.

2. Reboot (because of kernel update)

4. Run VirtualBox guest additions install script

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Here’s what I have on VirtualBox side:

If I interpret it rigt, it is the guest machine log shown from host Virtualbox GUI menu => Machine => Show log => VBox.log
But, it can not be the whole log.

I have now reinstalled linux headers on my faulty WM:

And rerun VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. Now automount of shared directory works. But, I was reminded of why I do not use it: Its only accessible for root. Maybe, I have done something wrong. I have not investigate it, as I use NFS instead.

My VBox.log says:

I asked you if your subject liner realy was true or if it only was shared directory that did not work. You have not answered.

Have you installed Linuxheaders:

(that command should also install gcc.
and after that installed Linux guest additions?

What does the guests /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log say?

If you search for

you will se that most often it will get fixed wit installing linux headers.

Btw, I maybe shall explain why you can not run /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run directly?

You have an entry for DVD/Cd in your guests /etc/fstab, probaly something like:

«user» also means «noexec». That means you can not execute any program from that filesystem. You can edit fstab and ad «exec» after user, but that can be an security risk.
That, is why you have to execute the shell (bash or sh) and read in the skript. You can test with the copy of VBoxLinuxAdditions.run in your home. Remove the executable bit and you can still execute it with «bash VBoxLinuxAdditions.run».

modprobe vboxguest failed

I am running an Ubuntu Server (12.0.4-beta2; kernel 3.2.0) in VirtualBox (host is Win7) and I want to use shared folders. I’ve followed the manual to set up vbox guest additions http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp5801200 but this error occurs with every startup:

When I try it myself:

Did I do something wrong, what do I need to fix it? Thanks for help.

I had this problem today, and solved it by installing the kernel-headers

Then re-run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run .

I discovered here that the standard guest additions install includes a built-in setup function, so there’s no need to reinstall:

This gave me the error about missing kernel sources, so as brendan’s answer, yum install kernel-devel , and then that setup command works, and everything seems to be back to normal again!

I had a similar problem today, but it turns out the vagrant-vbguest plugin was not installed. So, in the folder with my Vagrantfile:

That solved it for me.

When installing from an ISO that has had point fixes made to it, the kernel-devel headers will most likely be a newer version than the kernel that shipped with the ISO.

You need to make sure everything is up to date and in lockstep.

What worked for me on a CentOS 8 install was the following:

sudo yum update
sudo yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel elfutils-libelf-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel
sudo reboot
Insert VBox Guest Additions again

Hi,
I’m trying to install guest additions on a Ubuntu 12.04 guest (host is the same), but I get the following error.

Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions . fail!

but nothing works. Any idea anyone?

Re: Guest additions — modprobe vboxguest failed

by Perryg » 30. Apr 2013, 19:47

Wow the link took me to a place where they are telling you to install kernel-devel.

Anyway the following will install the needed packages.

Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
