[Bug 1565985] Re: vagrant vb ubuntu/xenial64 cannot mount synced folders

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Curtis, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.408.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

advance!

Bug description:
  I am unable to fully provision  a xenial instance using box
      ubuntu/xenial64               (virtualbox, 20160403.0.0)
  because the synced folders are never mounted.

  VAGRANT_LOG=DEBUG vagrant init --debug indicates that there was an error mounting the filesystem
      mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'

  I am using
      VirtualBox 5.0.16 r105871
      vagrant 1.8.1

  While init/provision fails, the instance is brought up. I can get into
  it and see it runs. It doesn't appear that Virtualbox Guest Additions
  is installed. I can see that my installation of VB does have
  VBoxGuestAdditions.iso and is readable.

  X-CPC-Real-Bug: bug 1605795

  Test procedure for proposed fix:

  1. Launch the ubuntu vagrant box (xenial, yakkety)
  2. SSH into the box with `vagrant ssh`
  3. Check if default synced folder, /vagrant, is mounted with `mount` or `df`, it should be
  4. Check name of VM in virtualbox, it should be randomized
