Note that in the console you will want to use quotes. My VDI disk is under my VirtualBox folder, something like this: Other solutions may work using FUSE, but I've never been too happy with FUSE. The steps below work just fine in Ubuntu 16.04 and should continue to work for a while. So I looked for a different method and there were so many steps that I really need to write them down to find them again. On my old system I had fuse and used that successfully but somehow with the VDI format, it seems to be confused. Actually, that's certainly exactly what the VirtualBox code does, but somehow we are not provided with a dead easy way (it seems) to do just that. Since your VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) files are literally disk files, they should be mountable, right? Yes! They are. I had to find a way to fix the file system without having to rebuild the entire disk because that would have taken way too long. The file was JSON when sudo only accepts very basic var=value lines. Today I made a mistake and create the file /etc/sudoers.d/timeout which was definitely not compatible with sudo.
