It would be wise as well to clean up any remaining temporary files and directories after the installation by running the following command: sudo VBoxManage extpack cleanup and perhaps for the sake of completion check the installation of the Extension Pack by running the following command as well: sudo VBoxManage list extpacks The reference below gives full details of these and other command line options for VBoxManage.
Reference: 8. VBoxManage extpack. Improve this answer. So is the actual problem that VirtualBox isn't trying to do it as root and also not handling lack of permissions gracefully?
This is my suspicion and certainly using sudo with the commandline VBoxManage usually solves the issue. My own practice has been to use the command line exclusively rather than the gui, mostly because there are so many more options available! This may have occurred, because the licence agreement had not been accepted. Install the extension pack from within the VirtualBox application. Open Preferences and select the Extensions tab. Click on the down arrow on the right side.
Select the downloaded extension pack and click on Install. The licence agreement appears. Sorry, something went wrong. If this doesn't work on the 1. Did this work on 1. Has this worked with any Packer version? Well, I had tried using the virtualbox-provisioner with few versions of packer and none of them seemed to work with this basic feature, after seeing nobody was replying to the ticket i've just decided to discard the idea of using packer till becomes mature enough and just coming back to fabric to provisioning my boxes ;.
There are two Hashicorp employees dedicated to Packer, but both of us are located in the United States and were on vacation for Thanksgiving last week. Sorry we didn't acknowledge your ticket earlier; hopefully you'll give it another chance sometime.
SwampDragons Oh, thanks for the fast reply, good to hear that My bad, I assumed very fast the project was unmaintained and i've thrown the towel too fast.
But if it's so I'm willing to try again of course. But still To be honest, I deploy from windows to linux boxes quite a lot and few months ago was considering ansible and other alternatives Security, Compliance and Identity. Microsoft Edge Insider. Azure Databases. Project Bonsai.
