Created attachment 12864 [details] Log of failed installation Running: sudo update-guest-additions fails with: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please specify an absolute path Usage: install [<installation directory>] | uninstall [force] [no_setup] Example: ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run install -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See attached.
Version 4.1.18 is just over a year old; there have been thirteen releases since then. Could you try with a more recent version of VirtualBox?
It's running out-of-the-box VirtualBox Debian stable (Wheezy), which means a couple things. First, Debian may have back-ported fixes, which is common. The official versions is "4.1.18-dfsg-2+deb7u1", which I think indicates this. Second, it's worth supporting Debian stable if possible, so we should consider if this is an upstream bug. I do note that I earlier had to upgrade Vagrant (I'm running it from a dpkg). Do you think it's possible that conflicts with the packaged VirtualBox?
