I've got the latest version of VirtualBox installed on my desktop (4.3.4).
I'm using Vagrant to run a VM based on the example 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box at:
http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box
Everytime I run vagrant up
, I get the following warning:
The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can cause things such as shared folders to not work properly. If you see shared folder errors, please update the guest additions within the virtual machine and reload your VM. Guest Additions Version: 4.2.0 VirtualBox Version: 4.3
I've googled, but I can't find a way to upgrade to Guest Additions v4.3. The latest version in the Ubuntu repository for precise is 4.1, and there's no download link on the official VirtualBox download page.
Windows Guest Additions can be updated by running the installation program again. This replaces the previous Additions drivers with updated versions. Alternatively, you can also open the Windows Device Manager and select Update Driver... for the following devices: Oracle VM VirtualBox Graphics Adapter.
In the guest virtual machine, choose Devices -> Install Guest Additions from the menubar of VirtualBox. VirtualBox will look for the needed file. Failing to find it, it may give you an opportunity to download the file from the internet.
The VirtualBox Guest Additions consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the operating system for better performance and usability. One of the usability features required in this guide is automated logons, which is why you need to install the Guest Additions in the virtual machine.
You can check out the following plugin, it should suit your needs:
