Cool script! just fails on some distros due to vboxmanage
name spelled VBoxManage
.
Once that's fixed, works as expected.
For some reason it does not fix Vagrant version mismatch message
[default] GuestAdditions seems to be installed (6.0.22) correctly, but not running.
sorry, this does not work for me. sample output for 1 machine (i renamed your script to vbr):
# VBoxManage list vms | grep ycast3
"ycast3_default_1622908794541_20972" {4467a641-fa5b-4dc7-9cc7-6fea666ddbf5}
# VBoxManage guestproperty get ycast3_default_1622908794541_20972 /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Version
Value: 6.1.22r144080
# vbr ycast3_default_1622908794541_20972
Found UUID:4467a641-fa5b-4dc7-9cc7-6fea666ddbf5
Versions match: 6.1.22r144080
# vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'debian/buster64' version '10.20210409.1' is up to date...
==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
==> default: Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222. Now on port 2201.
....
==> default: Machine booted and ready!
Got different reports about installed GuestAdditions version:
Virtualbox on your host claims: 5.2.0
VBoxService inside the vm claims: 6.1.22
Going on, assuming VBoxService is correct...
