Title:
Shared folders cannot be mounted in ubuntu/cosmic64 due to missing
vbox modules
Status in cloud-images:
Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
In bionic, the vboxsf module was included in linux-
modules-...-generic:
$ dpkg -c linux-modules-4.15.0-36-generic_4.15.0-36.39_amd64.deb | grep
vboxsf.ko
-rw-r--r-- root/root 63238 2018-09-24 10:08
./lib/modules/4.15.0-36-generic/kernel/ubuntu/vbox/vboxsf/vboxsf.ko
In cosmic, it isn't:
$ dpkg -c ~/Downloads/linux-
modules-4.18.0-9-generic_4.18.0-9.10_amd64.deb | grep vboxsf.ko
This results in shared folders no longer being mountable in Ubuntu
Vagrant boxes (and, as the other vbox modules are also missing,
probably has other effects that haven't yet been reported).
[Original Report]
Just tried to test out the new cosmic64 vagrant box and get the
following error;
```
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant
The error output from the command was:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device
```
I tried with ubuntu/bionic64 and it worked fine.
I've got;
$ vagrant version
Installed Version: 2.1.5
Latest Version: 2.1.5
You're running an up-to-date version of Vagrant!
$ VBoxManage --version
5.2.18r124319
