 The virtualbox guest additions are already installed in the vmdk

 virtualbox-guest-utils set to manually installed.
 virtualbox-guest-x11 is already the newest version
 (6.1.38-dfsg-3~ubuntu1.22.04.1).
 The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
 required:

 The pre-installation of the virtualbox guest additions in the vmdk could
 be a problem
 * if you are using another vm solution, e.g. parallels, vmware, ...
 * if you have an incombatible vbox version
 * if you unaware of the apt-Package and you try to install the virtualbox
 guest additions from the Guest Additions CD Image.
 {{{
 sudo /media/user/VBox_GAs_7.0.8/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
 }}}
 In this case you get error messages during the start of the VM
 {{{
 systemctl

   upower.service

   user-runtime-dir at 1000.service

 Maybe it would be better, to deinstall the virtualbox guest additions at
 the end. In this case every user could install the virtualbox guest
 additions from the "Guest Additions CD Image" by himself / herself, which
 is also recommended by !VirtualBox.
