I am trying to build ubuntu dev box using packer, this virtualbox guest installation is one of script:
ubuntu-vbguest.sh export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y -q gcc build-essential mount -o loop,ro VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /mnt yes | sudo sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run umount /mnt it always failed and exited from packer, virtualbox-iso: VirtualBox Guest Additions installer virtualbox-iso: Copying additional installer modules ... virtualbox-iso: Installing additional modules ... virtualbox-iso: VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules. virtualbox-iso: VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until the system is restarted virtualbox-iso: VirtualBox Guest Additions: Starting. virtualbox-iso: VirtualBox Guest Additions: modprobe vboxsf failed ==> virtualbox-iso: Step "StepProvision" failed ubuntu iso ubuntu-17.10-server-amd64.iso $ packer version Packer v1.1.3 I run on win7 + msys64 virtualbox 5.2.4 Even I run above guest installation inside vm, will get same error - modprobe vboxsf failed, need to reboot vm once then vboxsf show up. So question is how can I make VBoxGuestAdditions installed in packer script without any manual work? Thanks.
