How to update VirtualBox Guest Additions with vagrant

gistfile1.sh

# Start the old vagrant
$ vagrant init centos-6.3
$ vagrant up

# You should see a message like:
#  [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of
#  VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared
#  folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on
#  this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the
#  box.
#
#  Guest Additions Version: 4.1.18
#  VirtualBox Version: 4.2.8

$ vagrant ssh
vagrantup:~$ sudo yum -y update
vagrantup:~$ cd /opt
vagrantup:~$ sudo wget -c http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.8/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.2.8.iso \
                       -O VBoxGuestAdditions_4.2.8.iso
vagrantup:~$ sudo mount VBoxGuestAdditions_4.2.8.iso -o loop /mnt
vagrantup:~$ cd /mnt
vagrantup:~$ sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11
vagrantup:~$ cd /opt
vagrantup:~$ sudo rm *.iso
vagrantup:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
vagrantup:~$ sudo chkconfig --add vboxadd
vagrantup:~$ sudo chkconfig vboxadd on
vagrantup:~$ exit

# Now check that the Guest Additions work
$ vagrant halt
$ vagrant up

# Package the new VM
$ vagrant halt
$ vagrant package
$ mv package.box centos-6.3.box

Thanks for that tip.It worked like charm!
Saved me many hours of investigation.

Hi guys, I'm sorry I'm pretty late to this party.

I have two apparent issues with Vagrant: the guest additions not matching and the NFS mount error. When I run Vagrant Up/Reload I get this...

**The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
mount -o 'vers=3,udp' 192.168.50.1:'/Users/mathewthomas/Sites/eightloop/site' /vagrant-nfs-eightloop.io
Stdout from the command:

Stderr from the command:

mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported**

I have been having trouble for a few days. Do you think these isses could be related?

Thanks.

Sorted.

I just ran 'vagrant ssh', 'apt-get update', and 'apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server'.

Ran like a dream.

Sorry to bother you, cheers.

"sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup" : "command not found".

edit added: this gist requires some extra one-time preparatory steps ...

Can you help me? It can't find that path

sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxadd: command not found```
