Public bug reported:
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.
