"vagrant up" fails under Vbguest 0.28.0. Downgrading to 0.21.0 solves the issue

[cvquesty]

Under the new "Big Sur", running "vagrant up" when vagrant-vbguest is installed (and used) causes an error whereby a mount is looked for and generates a condition where vagrant-vbguest will not run and fails hard. The error output is:

Complete!

Siply backporting vagrant-vbguest to 0.21.0 resolves the issue.

Possibly duplicate of #398

[cvquesty]

I don’t think so. RHEL8 is not involved in any way

I checked #398 and was able to determine from looking at the code that the state behavior is not present in that ticket. Can I provide further illumination or logging to assist with the issue?

From your log No package kernel-devel-3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 available. I take it you are using CentOS7 ... hence the guess that the old "enable repo" fixes your problem.

For now, you could let vbguest update the kernel in your box (https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest#installer-specific-options-installer_options : config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true } )

I can confirm that allow_kernel_upgrade: true fixes this issue for bento/centos-7.8.

vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-vbguest
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest --plugin-version 0.21

it’s work for me

this resolve my issue, using 0.30.0 and reload, it will install the package to the vm after detect: [default] No Virtualbox Guest Additions installation found.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "centos/8"
  config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true }
end

This works ! add this line in provider config: config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true }

I experience this after upgrading to the latest VirtualBox (6.1.26). Then vagrant-vbguest (0.24.0) was preventing my machine from starting up. Upgrading to latest (0.30.0) got me a little further, but I would get a similar failure after checking for guest additions. I tried the latest CentOS 7 (v2004.01) and CentOS 8 images (2011.0) but neither helped. Also tried allow_kernel_upgrade. I really liked this plugin, but I've reverted to rsync until this bug is fixed.

Update: I uninstalled vagrant-vbguest v0.30.0 and installed v0.24.0 and now it is able to install guest additions.

Update2: This bug was introduced in v0.25.0.

I ended up changing to Ubuntu instead

I'm still facing this issue with image "debian/bullseye64" and version v0.30.v downgrading to v0.21.0 or _config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernelupgrade: true } did not help

[rahaalizade]

vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-vbguest, vagrant destroy and vagrant up solved this issue for me! Don't give any vbguest addition to vagrant and virtualbox :))

[andresbott]

For whom might interest, I ended up baking my own image. check the details here: https://gist.github.com/andresbott/b09b4fb16113f02e20fa0ef39025064c

Running rockylinux/9, same error. What helped for me is:

    ansible_host_01.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true, auto_reboot: true }
    ansible_host_01.vbguest.installer_hooks[:before_install] = ["dnf -y update kernel", "sleep 2"]

This works in my case.

I use the code below to create a VM with CentOS 9, then got the same problem. Then your solution fixes it.

### DB vm  ####
  config.vm.define "db01" do |db01|
    db01.vm.box = "eurolinux-vagrant/centos-stream-9"
    db01.vm.hostname = "db01"
    db01.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.15"
    db01.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
     vb.memory = "600"
   end

  end

[maisonhai3]

allow_kernel_upgrade: true workaround.

However, this code updates kernels EVERY SINGLE TIME while a box is set up, which costs a huge amount of time.

[fnordfish]

As an explainer: The allow_kernel_upgrade is there so that the matching Kernel header packages can be installed. This is, because CentOS* removes “old” Kernel header packages from its registry. We don’t need to update the Kernel, but it is the only way to get matching headers.

The Solution™ would be to use a base box which has the matching Kernel headers, maybe even all the other dependencies needed to compile guest additions, already installed.

[bisrikarim]

This works ! add this line in provider config: config.vbguest.installer_options = { allow_kernel_upgrade: true }

That works for me, thank you so much :)

Using v0.31.0 w/ VirtualBox 7.0.10 on openSUSE Tumbleweed:
In my case all I had to do was to add the guest additions ISO file to the Media Manager. vbguest auto-detected the ISO and everything went smoothly w/o allow_kernel_upgrade or auto_reboot.
