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The packaged vagrant box from Ubuntu contains outdated Virtual Box Guest Additions.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

Thanks to these projects for inspiration
