  <p>I also installed this:</p>

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

  <p>I try to make a nice Vagrantfile creating a precise64 VM with usb automatically mounted.
  But each time I try to add an usbfilter on my virtualbox VM, I end up with that message:</p>

  The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it
  to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the
  'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured
  properly and try again.
  
  If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
  it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
  GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
  For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run `vagrant up` while the
  VirtualBox GUI is open.

  <p>Anybody has some expertise on the topic?
  Thank you very much.</p>
  
  <p><strong>SOLUTION: I though it was already installed... when reading : 00:00:00.039722 Installed Extension Packs: 00:00:00.039747 VNC (Version: 4.2.16 r86992; VRDE Module: VBoxVNC) But in fact I have to install the extension guest pack on the Host too. It's a bit confusing. thank you very much. You can add a proper answer, I ll validate it.</strong></p>
