Title:
virtualbox-guest-utils.service not starting
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I am trialing various flavours of Ubuntu in Virtualbox virtual
machines - Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate. All version
18.04, running on Kubuntu 17.10 host. All set up identically as far
as I can tell, with virtualbox-guest-dkms, virtualbox-guest-utils and
virtualbox-guest-x11 installed in each guest.
All work fine except that shared folders does not work in 2 of the
VMs. It works in Xubuntu, Ubuntu but not in Lubuntu and Ubuntu Mate.
On investigation it appears that the virtualbox-guest-utils.service is
not started automatically on the two versions not working. If I start
it manually everything is OK.
Here is the status -
systemctl status virtualbox-guest-utils.service
● virtualbox-guest-utils.service - Virtualbox guest utils
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/virtualbox-guest-utils.service;
enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Looking in journalctl there are no messages showing that the service
tried to start and failed. There is nothing.
