GuestAdditions Version Mismatch

when i use this command:

vagrant up

I get this error:

 [machine1] GuestAdditions versions on your host (4.3.36) and guest (5.0.10) do not match.

How can I upgrade a guest add-on from an ubuntu shell?

Use the vbguest firewall plugin

Install the plugin:

 vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Let vagrant up install the virtual window client if necessary. If you want to force the installation, you can run vagrant vbguest --do install

You need to update the ISO VBoxGuestAdditions either:

  • install / update the package using:

     sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

  • or by downloading an ISO file from this download page .

    Example for macOS:

     sudo wget -O /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.10/VBoxGuestAdditions_5.0.10.iso

    where the version of VBoxGuestAdditions ( 5.0.10 ) should match the installed VirtualBox binaries.

Consider also updating your VM window with:

 vagrant box update

For Linux Ubuntu, also check this page: Configuring VirtualBox Guest Add-ons .
