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

[Louis Zuckerman]

There are a number of issues with the official vagrant box for xenial:

- necessary packages are missing (synced folders not working, no config management)
- default /vagrant synced folder is disabled
- vm name is static, so you can only have one instance of the box on a host

All of these issues stem from problems in a single source file in the
livecd-rootfs package, so I believe they should all be covered by a
single bug, and a single patch to fix.  Can we use this bug to track all
of them?

I have a fix for all of these issues, which I will be proposing for
merge later today.

Thanks!

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.
