You have been subscribed to a public bug: We have multiple private bug reports where people try to install Ubuntu 24.04 using virtualbox but vboxpostinstall.sh fails.
All these bugs have: * CasperMD5CheckResult: fail So they all ended up closed automatically. I created an exception so that such reports would not automatically get closed if they also have: * CasperMD5CheckMismatches: ./boot/grub/grub.cfg After investigating, I found out that vboxpostinstall.sh indirectly relies on usermod to add the `vboxuser` user to a group (vboxuser is the default name for VirtualBox unattended installations but can be changed by when creating the VM). We know for a fact that Subiquity-based installers do not create users until first boot so using usermod in a postinstall scripts doesn't work. Note that one cannot reproduce this issue with an Ubuntu Host OS at the moment. The virtualbox package in Ubuntu does not have the autoinstall support ; so when selecting unattended installation, there is no automation at all. Autoinstall support is new in VirtualBox 7.1.
