Updating Virtual Box Guest Additions

The packaged vagrant box from Ubuntu contains outdated Virtual Box Guest Additions. Most of the time this shouldn't be a problem, but if you want to update them I recommend this procedure:

  1. Install the vagrant-vbguest plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
  2. Boot the vm without provisioning: vagrant up --no-provision
  3. Login with vagrant ssh and run sudo apt-get -y -q purge virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
  4. Logout and vagrant halt
  5. vagrant up --provision
