Previously, for a TypeScript training, I needed an environment with Visual Studio Code and Node.js (a JavaScript runtime). In a previous article, I shared with you the steps I took, to get this working within an Oracle VirtualBox appliance, with the help of Vagrant.
[https://technology.amis.nl/recent/installing-ubuntu-desktop-22-04-lts-visual-studio-code-and-node-js-on-a-virtual-machine-using-vagrant-and-oracle-virtualbox/]
This time, I needed a similar environment (for a Terraform training) that also included Terraform and the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI).
Since the last time however, I received a new laptop with Windows 11 and I installed software on it, including vagrant 2.3.6 (as opposed to version 2.3.4, I used so far) and VirtualBox Graphical User Interface, Version 7.0.8 r156879 (Qt5.15.2).
After starting the environment described in that previous article, I did run into some errors, with regard to VirtualBox Guest Additions.
In this article, I will share with you the steps I took, to get my demo environment working again.
In a next article, I will describe how I extended this environment with Terraform and Azure CLI.
Vagrantfile and shell script
Since my previous article I had the following Vagrantfile in place:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu2204"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_vsc_nodejs" do |ubuntu_vsc_nodejs|
config.vm.synced_folder "C:\\My\\AMIS\\MySharedFolder", "/mnt/mysharedfolder", automount: true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu Desktop, Visual Studio Code and Node.js"
vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "2"
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--graphicscontroller', 'vmsvga']
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--vram', '16']
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--clipboard-mode", "bidirectional"]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--draganddrop", "bidirectional"]
vb.gui = true
args = []
config.vm.provision "ubuntu_etc shell script", type: "shell",
path: "scripts/ubuntu_etc.sh",
args: args end
end
end
In the scripts directory I had a file ubuntu_etc.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash echo "**** Begin installing Ubuntu, etc" sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade -y echo "**** Begin installing ubuntu-desktop" sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop -y sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Amsterdam echo "**** End installing ubuntu-desktop" echo "**** Begin installing Visual Studio Code" #Install the apt repository and signing key to enable auto-updating using the system's package manager sudo apt-get install wget gpg wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > packages.microsoft.gpg sudo install -D -o root -g root -m 644 packages.microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.microsoft.gpg sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.microsoft.gpg] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list' rm -f packages.microsoft.gpg #Update the package cache and install the package sudo apt install apt-transport-https sudo apt update sudo apt install code echo "**** End installing Visual Studio Code" echo "**** Begin installing Node.js" # Using Ubuntu curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs echo "**** End installing Node.js" echo "**** End installing Ubuntu, etc"
As I described before, on my new laptop with Windows 11, I installed software, including vagrant 2.3.6 (as opposed to version 2.3.4, I used so far) and VirtualBox Graphical User Interface, Version 7.0.8 r156879 (Qt5.15.2).
From a subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd). In order to see the currently installed version, I used the following:
vagrant --version
With the following output:
Vagrant 2.3.6
Error: ‘/var/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/skip-5.15.0-69-generic’: No such file or directory
As before I wanted to install some vagrant plugins. I used the following commands on the Windows Command Prompt:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
This last command, gave an error:
Installing the 'vagrant-vbguest' plugin. This can take a few minutes... ERROR: SSL verification error at depth 3: unable to get local issuer certificate (20) ERROR: You must add /C=US/O=Starfield Technologies, Inc./OU=Starfield Class 2 Certification Authority to your local trusted store Vagrant failed to load a configured plugin source.

In order to fix it, I used:

With the following output:

In order to list all installed plugins and their respective installed versions, I used the following command on the Windows Command Prompt:
vagrant plugin list
With the following output:
vagrant-disksize (0.1.3, global) vagrant-vbguest (0.31.0, global)
Then, I ran the following command:
vagrant up

Because in the VagrantfiIe, I choose to display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
(vb.gui = true), at the end this GUI was visible:
Next, I logged in as user vagrant.
As mentioned in the output, I looked at the log file /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log for further information:
cat /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log
With the following output:
I searched on the Internet and as it turned out, the solution for this, was to uninstall the plugin.
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/2023758]
So, in order to solve this problem I uninstalled the plugin:
vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-vbguest
With the following output:
Uninstalling the 'vagrant-vbguest' plugin... Successfully uninstalled micromachine-3.0.0 Successfully uninstalled vagrant-vbguest-0.31.0
In order to list all installed plugins and their respective installed versions, I used the following command on the Windows Command Prompt:
vagrant plugin list
With the following output:
vagrant-disksize (0.1.3, global)
Finally, I closed the system, via the VirtualBox menu File | Close | Power off the machine.
In order to stop the running machine and destroy its resources, I used the following command on the Windows Command Prompt: vagrant destroy
With the following output:
ubuntu_vsc_nodejs: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'ubuntu_vsc_nodejs' VM? [y/N] y ==> ubuntu_vsc_nodejs: Discarding saved state of VM... ==> ubuntu_vsc_nodejs: Destroying VM and associated drives...
This command stops the running machine Vagrant is managing and destroys all resources that were created during the machine creation process. After running this command, your computer should be left at a clean state, as if you never created the guest machine in the first place.
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/destroy.html]
From here on in this blog, for simplicity, I will no longer mention the vagrant destroy command preceding the vagrant up command.
Before trying again, I changed the content of Vagrantfile (to represent the new environment I want to create) to:
[in bold, I highlighted the changes]
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu2204"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli" do |ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli|
config.vm.synced_folder "C:\\My\\AMIS\\MySharedFolder", "/mnt/mysharedfolder", automount: true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu Desktop, Visual Studio Code, Terraform and Azure CLI"
vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "2"
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--graphicscontroller', 'vmsvga']
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--vram', '16']
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--clipboard-mode", "bidirectional"]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--draganddrop", "bidirectional"]
vb.gui = true
args = []
config.vm.provision "ubuntu_etc shell script", type: "shell",
path: "scripts/ubuntu_etc.sh",
args: args
end
end
end
Then, again I ran the following command:
vagrant up
With the following output (only showing the relevant parts):

By the way, importing this base box and creating the virtual machine takes quite some time!
In the VirtualBox GUI, I logged in as user: vagrant
I used the following command on the VirtualBox GUI shell: sudo reboot
After a while, the login screen appeared.
After I logged in as user vagrant, I had to step through some welcome screens.
Here, I chose to skip for now.
Here, I chose not to send system info.
Finally, I clicked on the ‘Done’ button.
This showed the desktop, but I could not Auto-resize Guest Display. This was not working.
This was to be expected because for this feature you need the VirtualBox Guest Additions to be installed.
From the menu I clicked on Devices | Insert Guest Additions CD image…
With the following error message:
From the menu I clicked on Devices | Upgrade Guest Additions…
With the following error message:
For now, I closed the system, via the VirtualBox menu File | Close | Save the machine state.
It was time to investigate and fix these problems.
VirtualBox Guest Additions
As mentioned in Section 1.2, “Some Terminology”, the Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability. See Section 3.1, “Supported Guest Operating Systems” for details on what guest operating systems are fully supported with Guest Additions by Oracle VM VirtualBox.
The Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions for all supported guest operating systems are provided as a single CD-ROM image file which is called VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. This image file is located in the installation directory of Oracle VM VirtualBox. To install the Guest Additions for a particular VM, you mount this ISO file in your VM as a virtual CD-ROM and install from there.
The Guest Additions offer the following features:
- Mouse pointer integration. To overcome the limitations for mouse support described in Section 1.9.2, “Capturing and Releasing Keyboard and Mouse”, this feature provides you with seamless mouse support. You will only have one mouse pointer and pressing the Host key is no longer required to free the mouse from being captured by the guest OS. To make this work, a special mouse driver is installed in the guest that communicates with the physical mouse driver on your host and moves the guest mouse pointer accordingly.
- Shared folders. These provide an easy way to exchange files between the host and the guest. Much like ordinary Windows network shares, you can tell Oracle VM VirtualBox to treat a certain host directory as a shared folder, and Oracle VM VirtualBox will make it available to the guest operating system as a network share, irrespective of whether the guest actually has a network. See Section 4.3, “Shared Folders”.
- Better video support. While the virtual graphics card which Oracle VM VirtualBox emulates for any guest operating system provides all the basic features, the custom video drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with extra high and non-standard video modes, as well as accelerated video performance.
In addition, with Windows, Linux, and Oracle Solaris guests, you can resize the virtual machine’s window if the Guest Additions are installed. The video resolution in the guest will be automatically adjusted, as if you had manually entered an arbitrary resolution in the guest’s Display settings. See Section 1.9.5, “Resizing the Machine’s Window”.
If the Guest Additions are installed, 3D graphics and 2D video for guest applications can be accelerated. See Section 4.5, “Hardware-Accelerated Graphics”.
- Seamless windows. With this feature, the individual windows that are displayed on the desktop of the virtual machine can be mapped on the host’s desktop, as if the underlying application was actually running on the host. See Section 4.6, “Seamless Windows”.
- Generic host/guest communication channels. The Guest Additions enable you to control and monitor guest execution. The guest properties provide a generic string-based mechanism to exchange data bits between a guest and a host, some of which have special meanings for controlling and monitoring the guest. See Section 4.7, “Guest Properties”.
Additionally, applications can be started in a guest from the host. See Section 4.9, “Guest Control of Applications”.
- Time synchronization. With the Guest Additions installed, Oracle VM VirtualBox can ensure that the guest’s system time is better synchronized with that of the host.
For various reasons, the time in the guest might run at a slightly different rate than the time on the host. The host could be receiving updates through NTP and its own time might not run linearly. A VM could also be paused, which stops the flow of time in the guest for a shorter or longer period of time. When the wall clock time between the guest and host only differs slightly, the time synchronization service attempts to gradually and smoothly adjust the guest time in small increments to either catch up or lose time. When the difference is too great, for example if a VM paused for hours or restored from saved state, the guest time is changed immediately, without a gradual adjustment.
The Guest Additions will resynchronize the time regularly. See Section 9.11.3, “Tuning the Guest Additions Time Synchronization Parameters” for how to configure the parameters of the time synchronization mechanism.
- Shared clipboard. With the Guest Additions installed, the clipboard of the guest operating system can optionally be shared with your host operating system. See Section 3.4, “General Settings”.
- Automated logins. Also called credentials passing. See Section 9.1, “Automated Guest Logins”.
Each version of Oracle VM VirtualBox, even minor releases, ship with their own version of the Guest Additions. While the interfaces through which the Oracle VM VirtualBox core communicates with the Guest Additions are kept stable so that Guest Additions already installed in a VM should continue to work when Oracle VM VirtualBox is upgraded on the host, for best results, it is recommended to keep the Guest Additions at the same version.
The Windows and Linux Guest Additions therefore check automatically whether they have to be updated. If the host is running a newer Oracle VM VirtualBox version than the Guest Additions, a notification with further instructions is displayed in the guest.

Error: Could not insert the C:\My\App\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso disk image file into the virtual machine …
So, as I mentioned before, I got the following error message (after choosing Insert Guest Additions CD image…):
Can’t mount image… Could not insert the C:\My\App\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso disk image file into the virtual machine Ubuntu Desktop, Visual Studio Code, Terraform and Azure CLI, as the machine has no optical drives. Please add a drive using the storage page of the virtual machine settings window.
So, I apparently there was no optical drive, that according to the error message, can be added by using the storage page of the virtual machine settings window.
I also had a look at:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=96382
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#additions-windows
So, In the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager for my appliance, I selected Settings | Storage:
Unfortunately the icons I needed were disabled. To fix this, I started the appliance and closed it again, this time with: Power off the machine. Then again, I selected Settings | Storage:
I clicked on the “Adds optical drive” icon.
Next, I selected “VBoxGuestAdditions.iso” and clicked on button “Choose”.
In the Settings window, I clicked on button “OK” .
In the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager I selected Start | Normal start.
Next, I logged in as user vagrant
And now the CD “VBox_GAs_7.0.8” was visible on the left side.
Then again, from the menu I clicked on Devices | Upgrade Guest Additions…
But I still got the same error message as before. Before concentrating on that error, I first wanted to automate my environment some more, with the manual steps I just executed.
So, I closed the system, via the VirtualBox menu File | Close | Power off the machine.
Vagrantfile
In order to automate the manual changes I made for creating the optical drive, I changed the Vagrantfile:
[in bold, I highlighted the changes]
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu2204"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli" do |ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli|
config.vm.synced_folder "C:\\My\\AMIS\\MySharedFolder", "/mnt/mysharedfolder", automount: true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu Desktop, Visual Studio Code, Terraform and Azure CLI"
vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "2"
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--graphicscontroller', 'vmsvga']
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--vram', '16']
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--clipboard-mode", "bidirectional"]

vb.customize ["storageattach", :id, "--storagectl", "IDE Controller", "--port", "0", "--device", "0", "--type", "dvddrive", "--medium", "C:\\My\\App\\Oracle\\VirtualBox\\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"]
vb.gui = true
args = []
config.vm.provision "ubuntu_etc shell script", type: "shell",
path: "scripts/ubuntu_etc.sh",
args: args
end
end
end
[ https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-storageattach]
Then, I executed the vagrant up command and did the usual things to get the GUI started.
And again the CD “VBox_GAs_7.0.8” was visible on the left side.
I closed the appliance, saving the state and started it again in the usual way.

So, as I mentioned before, I got the following error message (after choosing Upgrade Guest Additions…):

https://bjordanov.com/install-guest-additions-virtual-machine-vm-virtualbox/
Based on the provided solution I found, I used vagrant ssh to open a Linux Command Prompt where I used the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential module-assistant
sudo m-a prepare

If you wish to replace it with this version, please do not continue with this installation now, but instead remove the current version first, following the instructions for the operating system.

As you can see in the output, with this last command I had to type yes when asked to continue.
The following error message was shown:
Cannot reload kernel modules: one or more module(s) is still in use
As mentioned in the output, I looked at the log file /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log for further information:
cat /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log
With the following output:
Cannot reload kernel modules: one or more module(s) is still in use
On my first try to solve this problem, I did a sudo reboot and then I repeated the following commands:

sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
With the following output:

So, this looked like it worked.
Just to be sure, I did a sudo reboot and then did the usual things to get the GUI started.
I could now Auto-resize Guest Display and in order to try out the copy and paste from guest to host, I opened a Terminal, and typed some text, that I was able to copy to notepad on my Windows laptop.
I wanted to automate my environment some more, with the manual steps I just executed.
So, I closed the system, via the VirtualBox menu File | Close | Power off the machine.
Vagrantfile and shell script
In order to automate the manual changes I made for adding the VirtualBox Guest Additions, I changed the Vagrantfile:
[in bold, I highlighted the changes]
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu2204"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli" do |ubuntu_vsc_terraform_azurecli|
config.vm.synced_folder "C:\\My\\AMIS\\MySharedFolder", "/mnt/mysharedfolder", automount: true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu Desktop, Visual Studio Code, Terraform and Azure CLI"
vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "2"
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--graphicscontroller', 'vmsvga']
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--vram', '16']
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--clipboard-mode", "bidirectional"]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--draganddrop", "bidirectional"]
vb.customize ["storageattach", :id, "--storagectl", "IDE Controller", "--port", "0", "--device", "0", "--type", "dvddrive", "--medium", "C:\\My\\App\\Oracle\\VirtualBox\\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"]
vb.gui = true
args = []
config.vm.provision "ubuntu_etc shell script", type: "shell",
path: "scripts/ubuntu_etc.sh",
args: args
args = []
config.vm.provision "fix_vboxguestadditions shell script", type: "shell",
path: "scripts/fix_vboxguestadditions.sh",
args: args
end
end
end
In the scripts directory I created a file fix_vboxguestadditions.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash echo "**** Begin preparations for installing VBoxGuestAdditions" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install -y build-essential module-assistant sudo m-a prepare #cd /media/vagrant/VBox_GAs_7.0.8 #sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run echo "**** End preparations for installing VBoxGuestAdditions"
Remark:
For the VBox_GAs_7.0.8 to be present you actually have to be in the GUI. So I commented out these lines, but left them for my own convenience (when I have to manually execute them later on).
Then, I executed the vagrant up command and did the usual things (including sudo reboot) to get the GUI started.

I used vagrant ssh to open a Linux Command Prompt where I repeated the following commands:

As you can see in the output, with this last command I had to type yes when asked to continue.
The following error message was shown:

Of course, we have seen this error before.
This time, to solve it, I only did a sudo reboot and logged in.
Again, as I did before, I could Auto-resize Guest Display and also tried out the copy and paste from guest to host.
This all worked 😊.
I also wanted to check my shared folder. Via Files, I navigated to /mnt/mysharedfolder.
I could see the dummy.txt file, so this worked also.
Thankfully, I now had an environment that I again can use as a base for further functional enhancements.
I closed the system, via the VirtualBox menu File | Close | Save the machine state.
So, that is it. In this article, I shared with you the steps I took, to get my demo environment working again, after I run into some errors, with regard to VirtualBox Guest Additions in relation to Vagrant 2.3.6.
In a next article, I will describe how I extended this now improved environment with Terraform and Azure CLI.
