I am running vagrant 1.4 and virtual box 4.3 on fedora 17 machine. When I do "vagrant up", I get this error:
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

[default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]
Stderr: 0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: VBoxNetAdpCtl: ioctl failed for /dev/vboxnetctl: Inappropriate ioctl for devic
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterface, interface IHostNetworkInterface
VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleCreate(HandlerArg*, int, int*)" at line 66 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
I had the same problem today. The reason was that I had another VM running in VirtualBox.
Solution:
Open VirtualBox and shut down every VM running
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
Restart VirtualBox
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
You should now be able to run vagrant up or vagrant reload and have your new host configured.
As mentioned in this answer, recent versions of macOS can block VirtualBox.
Solution:
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
(thanks to #pazhyn, #lsimonetti & #dave-beauchesne for clarifications)
For Mac OS X 10.9.3 and Vagrant 1.6.3 and VirtualBox 4.3.6 this problem was fixed with restarting the VirtualBox
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
TL;DR MacOS is probably blocking VirtualBox. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow".
Solution:
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
MacOS by default can block kexts from loading. You must click the "allow" button before executing the VirtualBoxStartup.sh script.
Then run:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart like the answer above.

This issue appears to be fixed by installing the latest version of Virtual Box.
I had this issue after upgrading to OS X El Captian. Upgrading to the latest version of VB solved the issue for me. Virtual box will give you the latest link if you go to the virtualbox menu at the top of your screen and clicking check for updates.
Got the error in Mac after the update to Mojave. Probably you have an older version of virtual box.
Update to a recent version of virtualbox. (5.2 at the time of wrting this post)
Edit: adding #lsimonetti's comment.
In addition to that upgrade to Virtualbox 5.2, you need Vagrant >= 2.0.1
If you are on Linux, simply run: sudo vboxreload
I'm running Oracle VM Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
The solution that worked was to reinstall virtualbox as mentioned here:
sudo apt remove virtualbox virtualbox-5.0 virtualbox-4.*
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
I couldn't find my VirtualBox installation folder, as such could not issue the command:
$sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
I had to reinstall Virtual Box on my machine.
Here's the downloads page: Downloads Page
Then vagrant up worked for me after.
If after performing what is said by #totophe and on macOS it still doesn't work, just restart your mac. Then open the terminal and vagrant up.
This usually happens after each macOS update.
I had similar problem upgrading to OSX Monterey.
Solution:
Install VirtualBox Extension (download)
Accept VirtualBox Security & Privacy/Privacy/Input Monitoring
VirtualBox can also have and lose permissions for Accessibility, check that as well
In my case, I was able to solve this issue by reinstalling virtual box. I was trying to use laravel's homestead and was having this error. Reinstalling helps creating the directories that are needed for virtual box again. Took me an hour to figure out.
I'm running Debian 8 (Jessie), Vagrant 1.6.5 and Virtual Box 4.3.x with the same problem.
For me it got fixed executing:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Tried multiple solutions but the below sequence works for me.
Virtual Box: 5.2.34
Vagrant: 2.2.5
Mac OSX: 10.14.6
First Allow access to oracle inc:
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
Then restart VBox by this command:
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
Now try Vagrant up again.
I've just had the same problem after upgrading to mac os Big Sur
Linus solution worked for me
Grant permission to VirtualBox under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General (this request is new to macOS High Sierra)
Open Terminal and run: sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
https://stackoverflow.com/a/47652517/6146535
$sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
Worked great for me on Mac. This normally happens when I shut down my computer without running
$vagrant suspend
I am using ubuntu 14.04. I have genymotion installed on virtualbox. Every time I start genymotion I had no problem, but suddenly one time it said unable to load virtualbox engine and it didn't open. I went through the log file and found out it could not create a new host only network because it has already created all possible host only networks. And the problem is that it cannot allocate memory for a new network.
Fix: go to your virtual box File --> Preferences --> Network
Click the host-only tab and just delete some of the host-only networks so that you will get some memory freed and next time, a new network can be created easily.
Deletion fixed my problem.
In my case I had to do the following to solve this error for me:
totophe's answer in combination with (re)installing the latest VM-version (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) (Thanks to jacobappleton & user1718159)
Steps:
First (re)install latest VirtualBox;
Run sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart in terminal (not sure if this is needed in order to get the system preferences show up the allow/disallow option);
Allow in Security & Privacy
Restart your machine
Run sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart again.
Ready to run vagrant up again.
I fixed this error by installing VirtualBox 4.2 instead of 4.3. I think the latest version of vagrant and VB 4.3 are incompatible on a fedora system.
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
VirtualBox-5.0
I came across this tread while searching Google for...
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
I was using VirtualBox-5.0 to test some virtual machines created with Vagrant and setting private networks in my Vagrantfile
web.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.2"
When evoking the command $ vagrant up I would get the above mentioned error along with /dev/vboxnetcrl does not exist.
It seems that my version of VirtualBox did not have the proper kernel module compiled for my version of Linux and the device, /dev/vboxnetcrl, does not get created.
Since I wanted to test virtual machine and not troubleshoot VirtualBox, my work around (not a solution) was to:
# yum remove VirtualBox-5.0
# yum install VirtualBox-4.3
After that I was able to create the virtual machines with specified host-adapters. And of course, under VirtualBox-4.3, /dev/vboxnetcrl was there.
Now on to testing my VMs. And when I have time, I'll see if I can get it working under VirtualBox 5.0
If you are on Linux:
sudo service virtualbox restart
Windows 10 Pro
VirtualBox 5.2.12
In my case I had to edit the Host Only Ethernet Adapter in the VirtualBox GUI. Click Global Tools -> Host Network Manager -> Select the ethernet adapter, then click Properties. Mine was set to configure automatically, and the IP address it was trying to use was different than what I was trying to use with drupal-vm and vagrant. I just had to change that to manual and correct the IP address. I hope this helps someone else.
I had the same problem just now and it was solved by simply reinstalling to the latest version of VirtualBox.
For those on Mac OS High Sierra - the installation might fail at first but you need to go to System Preferences > Security & Policy and click on the "Allow" button to allow Oracle installing the software.
For macOS Mojave, this solution worked:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
I faced this issue on mac.
I did the following
Go to:
Launcher->Virtualbox
Click the icon to open Virtualbox
Start Virtualbox with the button that pops up once Virtualbox starts. Wait till the terminal window gives you the prompt,
docker#boot2docker
Then try to open docker. Hope it works!
If you are sure you have allow Oracle from system preference and the error still persist. It is highly possible you have not started VirtualBox. Ensure it is running and run vagrant up again.
Finally worked for me by following Given link.

What helped me on Opensuse 42.1 is to install VirtualBox and Vagrant from the official RPMs instead of from Opensuse repositories.
I encountered this problem on Windows 8.1, VirtualBox 5.1.18 and Vagrant 1.9.3.
Deleting the VirtualBox Hosts-only Ethernet Adapter from VirtualBox Preferences (Network --> Hosts-only networks) fixed this for me, and vagrant up could continue and start the VM.
I had the same problem while following a tutorial on setting up Laravel Homestead for Windows 10. The tutorial provides an example IP address 192.168.10.10 to use for the server. The problem with their example IP is that if you already have a VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter set up, the IP you use for your vagrant server must have the same first three parts of the IP address of your current adapter.
You can check what your current Virtualbox Host-Only Adapter IP address is by running ipconfig (windows) ifconfig (mac/linux) and looking for VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter's IPv4 address. 192.168.56.1 was mine. Usually if the host IP is 192.168.56.1 then the guest IP will be 192.168.56.101 so instead of using the example IP I used 192.168.56.102. Any IP that is within 192.168.56.* that is not already taken should work.
After this homestead up worked perfectly for me.
TL;DR - If your current VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter IP is 192.168.56.1, make your Vagrant server IP 192.168.56.102.

When I connect x2go with XFCE Ubuntu 20.04 (KVM VM) after ~10 minutes of idle time, x2go will lose its mouse focus and keyboard focus and there is no way to grab control of the session. Even restarting x2go will not bring the focus back.
The XFCE VM is still running because I can see the top output in the console.
I tried several key combinations to bring the focus back but it does not. I tried LXDE and it does not have this issue. I tried XFCE desktop 20.04 on its running in a KVM VM. I also tried installing Ubuntu server 20.04 and load Xubuntu-desktop (KVM VM) - the same issue. After ~10 minutes the x2go session-focus is lost.
What brings the session focus back is if I reboot the VM and then connect to the VM again using x2go. as I mentioned just restarting x2go will not bring the session focus back.
I tried uninstalling the screensaver and the power management features in XFCE but that did not fix this issue.
Update: this x2go bug report log suggests its screensaver related. Using the applications/settings/screensaver allowed me to turn off anything related to the screensaver, solving the problem for me. Issue appears to be solved here similarly: askubuntu forum
I've been having the same issue w/ XFCE and LXDE both after an idle period (10-15 minutes), and only on Ubuntu 20.04, not on 18.04 or earlier. In either desktop env, the session was not recoverable and required termination of the session either from the client side or via a separate terminal ssh session to kill <PID> the x2gocleansessio process on the server side (after seeing it was running using top). For a short period, I regained control in the new session until the cycle recurred.
Seems like a major problem for x2go in Ubuntu 20.04.
Just to save everyone the time of digging through the AskUbuntu forum... run this + restart and you should be good to go on Ubuntu 20.04 -
sudo apt-get remove xfce4-screensaver
If your are login via x2go and don't want to uninstall xfce4-screensaver, it's hard to solve the problem because there are intern script of xfce who launch xfce4-screensaver whatever you told him to do. I found my own workaround WITHOUT root privilege:
First activate screensaver on start-up :settings-manager -> Session and Startup->check screensaver(that sound weird but by this way you are sure to launch your xfce4-screensaver localy otherwise it's the root user who launch it which this own startup file which you can't edit without root)
Second : in ~/.config/autostart/xfce4-screensaver.desktop (if it doesn't exist uncheck then check screensaver in first step). Add to the end of this file:
Exec=sh -c "kill $(pgrep -u <YOUR-USERNAME> screen)"
This will launch it but auto-kill it after OnLogin
Edit: it's better than uninstall it because in my case that was the administrator that install for every user xfce4-screensaver so I can't uninstall it because the computer need a screensaver on the real sessions (I mean not in ssh on the physique machine). Maybe switch to Xscreensaver or other screensaver will solve this problem
I've been using WSL to debug C in VSCode, using Ubuntu from the Windows Store.
However, because my school projects must be able to run on a provided Virtual Machine (Lubuntu, in this case), it would be of great help if I could debug my code on Windows, through a connection to the Virtual Machine.
I've failed to find any good tutorials on this, so I tried playing around with the ip addr show command and connecting to the resulting address using ssh, but to no avail.
What would be the best approach to achieve this?
Found the solution. In the VM settings, I needed to add a Network Host-only Adapter. From there, I installed openssh-server in my VM:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
Then, by calling ifconfig I got my VM's ip (enp0s8 interface) and connected to it via ssh.
Hopefully this helps anyone facing the same issue.
Getting the following when I am trying to run Vagrant up.
Have tried to re-provision etc. Even tried rolling back (in Time Machine) the user/vagrant-local directory & the vagrant-local directory where the sites all live.
An error occurred in the underlying SSH library that Vagrant uses. The
error message is shown below. In many cases, errors from this library
are caused by ssh-agent issues. Try disabling your SSH agent or
removing some keys and try again.
If the problem persists, please report a bug to the net-ssh project.
timeout during server version negotiating
I was getting this exact error.
I upgraded from VirtualBox 5.0.x to 5.1.8 and the error went way.
After upgrading I did vagrant destroy and then vagrant up and the machine booted up without issues.
So this is what I have now:
Windows 10 pro
Vagrant 1.8.7
VirtualBox 5.1.8
I also made sure everything else was updated. Don't forget to reboot.
Hope this helps.
I have faced the same issue and done the following:
Send shutdown command to your VM (virtual machine)
Run the command again: vagrant up
ssh issue was resolved after this as VM has been restarted again.
I just had the same issue on this setup:
Windows 11
Vagrant 2.3.1
VirtualBox 6.1.38
What seems to have solved the problem for me is this:
run vagrant destroy -f
temporarily disable "Use the WSL2 based engine" from Docker Desktop. Wait for Docker Desktop restart.
run vagrant up --debug. The problem is still reported, but this time Vagrant recovers and runs to the end
Verify vagrant ssh is working
Re-enable "Use the WSL2 based engine". Wait for Docker Desktop restart.
Verify things are still working (also after re-boot)
I have been looking out for ways to setup an automation environment and I found this application named Vagrant. I read the docs on the site, however I wanted to know from the experts out there if Vagrant with Oracle VirtualBox would suffice my needs.
I need to have a script that will call Vagrant to initialize a VM [The VM-Image is always the same - Windows Server 2008 R2]
I need to copy some of my project related files from a shared location onto the VM
Call a Batch file that will take care of test runs for me inside the VM
Once my test run is complete, This VM needs to be self destroyed/destructed.
Also, I would like to know if the Image be a custom .ISO file?
Sounds like Vagrant and VirtualBox will work for that scenario. Also, you might find that running commands in the VM using WinRM or SSH may be the easiest way to launch tests.
If you haven't already seen it, the blog post about Windows support in Vagrant 1.6 is informative: https://www.vagrantup.com/blog/feature-preview-vagrant-1-6-windows.html
Creating a VirtualBox/Vagrant base VM from an .iso should work, and you can then do all of your work using the VM from that point onward.
To get started, you might try these steps:
Create a VirtualBox VM from your Windows .iso, using the VirtualBox GUI or cmdline tools.
Once you have the VM in the state you want it, shut it down and package it as a vagrant box - for example, on a Mac that step looks like (where Win7x64 is the dir containing the VirtualBox VM):
cd ~/VirtualBox\ VMs
vagrant package --base Win7x64 --output win7x64_base.box
Once that finishes, tell vagrant about the new base box:
vagrant box add win7x64_base /path/to/win7_base.box
Then you can vagrant init/vagrant up the VM:
mkdir win7 && cd win7
vagrant init win7x64
vagrant up
To enable SSH access, I installed Cygwin in the VM and configured sshd. So, after launching you can SSH in by running vagrant ssh
Note that if there's no Windows user in the VM named 'vagrant', you can specify the SSH username to use with vagrant ssh by placing this in your Vagrantfile:
config.ssh.username = 'user1'
As mentioned above, WinRM is also an option for remotely running commands.
And Vagrant apparently has some convenience features to make it easy to RDP into the VM, but I haven't looked at that.
I have quite a strange problem with NFS. I have two systems. One is my workstation, Ubuntu 13.04, linux kernel 3.8.0. Here I've got a directory with code I am working on: /home/user/source. The other is a virtual machine running on some remote server. It has Centos 6.3 and mounts the directory at /opt/source. The point is I have got a whole development environment there needed to run my code, but I want to store the code itself on my local machine for easier acces for Eclipse and other development tools.
Unfortunately, when I reboot my local machine, the NFS filesystem is unavailable on the virtual box until I run: /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart. I cannot figure out why. Here's the only line in /etc/exports on my local machine:
/home/user/source 10.0.19.192(rw,sync,subtree_check)
And here's the line from /etc/fstab on virtual machine, where the NFS is described:
10.10.1.205:/opt/source /opt/WP nfs defaults,nofail 0 0
It looks like your NFS server wasn't started at boot time. I think, even on Ubuntu 13.04, you can still manage this with the "rcconf" program:
sudo apt-get install rcconf dialog
sudo rcconf
Then, check off nfs-kernel-server.
If for some reason this isn't working, try a similar process with the sysv-rc-conf package.
