Interesting. Vagrant used to in fact check for OSE and give an error message and quit, but the OSE version is no longer available, according to Oracle. They replaced OSE with the "extension packs."
So instead of checking for OSE, I would need to check for the Oracle extention pack perhaps?
I think the distros may still provide them:
$ apt-cache search virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-source - Transitional package for virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms virtualbox-ose-source - Transitional package for virtualbox-ose-dkms virtualbox-ose-dkms - x86 virtualization solution - kernel module sources for dkms virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms - x86 virtualization solution - guest addition module source for dkms virtualbox-ose - x86 virtualization solution - base binaries virtualbox-ose-dbg - x86 virtualization solution - debugging symbols virtualbox-ose-fuse - x86 virtualization solution - virtual filesystem virtualbox-ose-guest-utils - x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 - x86 virtualization solution - X11 guest utilities virtualbox-ose-qt - x86 virtualization solution - Qt based user interface
Interesting, and what is the VirtualBox version string associated with them?
This is lucid, maverick etc may have later versions?
$ apt-cache --full search virtualbox-ose|grep -i version Version: 3.1.6-dfsg-2ubuntu2 Version: 3.1.6-dfsg-2ubuntu2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Python-Version: >= 2.4 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2 Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2
Seems they do:
The following
vagrant up
works fine with non-OSE VirtualBox 4.0.4. Guest Additions were installed as described here Nonetheless, perhaps OSE versions should be no-op (unsupported) since it seems the only way to get (at least for Ubuntu Lucid) OSE guest additions is via an X11 package.:
