Description Wlodzimierz Lipert 2010-04-09 11:15:24 UTC 
1. UDEV rules.

/etc/udev/rules.d/60-virtualbox-guest-additions.rules

Device permissions assigned to OWNER not GROUP.

Currently:

KERNEL=="vboxguest", NAME="vboxguest", OWNER="vboxguest", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="vboxuser", NAME="vboxuser", OWNER="vboxguest", MODE="0660"

Solution:

KERNEL=="vboxguest", NAME="vboxguest", GROUP="vboxguest", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="vboxuser", NAME="vboxuser", GROUP="vboxguest", MODE="0660"

2. Service startup script.

/etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-additions

Script tries to use /usr/sbin/vboxadd-service (which was renamed to vboxguest-service)

Solution: replace all vboxadd-service strings with vboxguest-service

Reproducible: Always

This was already fixed a long while ago.
