/vagrant folder not there - Guest Additions not installing.

[noducks]

With VBox 4.3.8 & Vagrant 1.5.1 on Mavericks - Am running

vagrant init boot2docker https://github.com/mitchellh/boot2docker-vagrant-box/releases/download/v0.5.4-1/boot2docker_virtualbox.box

vagrant up

I get the Kernel Panic error #25, so I run

VBoxManage setextradata blah_default_1395829057913_10574 VBoxInternal/CPUM/EnableHVP 1

which seems to fix it, vagrant up again gives me:

The guest's platform is currently not supported, will try generic Linux method... Copy iso file /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the box /tmp/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso boot2docker: 0.5.4 Installing Virtualbox Guest Additions 4.3.8 - guest version is boot2docker: 0.5.4 mkdir: can't create directory '/tmp/selfgz9247220': No such file or directory Cannot create target directory /tmp/selfgz9247220 You should try option --target OtherDirectory An error occurred during installation of VirtualBox Guest Additions 4.3.8. Some functionality may not work as intended.

If SSH fails on this machine, please install default: the guest additions and repackage the box to continue. default: default: This is not an error message; everything may continue to work properly, default: in which case you may ignore this message.

When I vagrant ssh - there is no /vagrant folder available. It seems that Guest Additions aren't installing. Have tried the vbguest plugin, but get the same errors. Any suggestions?

Have also tried building the box, but the virtual box kernel panic error doesn't let the packer script finish the script.

I believe this is due to boot2docker itself, not this particular vagrant configuration. See boot2docker/boot2docker#282 for details on the work in progress to support this.

Check my fork, i got a version working from the referenced PR of b2d (282) : Here is a working version for building a vagrant basebox with vboxsf by default for /vagrant mount : https://github.com/dduportal/boot2docker-vagrant-box/tree/1a92a02eb8839d5210df044e9553f5f06e098090.

It works very well !

@mitchellh : Can i make you a PR or do you want to wait a vanilla b2d with vbosf from @steeve ?

[jonnyzzz]

Does not work for me. I do not see /vagrant folder in the started VM

[dduportal]

@jonnyzzz Which one do you use ? @mitchellh one ore mine ? Could you provide some useful information for testing/reproducing ?

[jonnyzzz]

It looks the .iso is lacking VirtualBox guest addons. It seems both are affected

[dduportal]

@jonnyzzz I don't understand which iso while we are working on vagrant base box ?
If you wanna try, i got a vagrant cloud image (dduportal/boot2docker) but a little bit old (b2d 0.8.0).

Working on a new version while b2d has changed the build process...

@dduportal it is working pretty fine for me. +1 for a PR to make this official. Thank you.

PR including vboxsf shared folder : #56

👍 for guest additions, would make dvm the go-to for boot2docker working with fig

[dduportal]

Hi all, i made a pull request since b2d 1.3.0 embed vboxsf, which enable the default /vagrant folder sharing : #69
