Vagrant is failing to unpackage Ubuntu Bionic box - vagrant

I've tried the following on two different hosts (MacOS and Windows 10):
vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64
vagrant up
However on both machines I get the same error:
==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> box: Adding box 'bionic' (v0) for provider:
box: Unpacking necessary files from: file:///Users/user/Downloads/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant.box
The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box
file you're trying to add is not corrupted and that enough disk space
is available and then try again.
The output from attempting to unpackage (if any):
x box.ovf
x Vagrantfile
x metadata.json
x ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg.mf
x ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg.vmdk: Truncated tar archive
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
So far, I've tried:
freeing up 20GB of disk space
downloading the box and manually untarring it
using older versions of this vagrant box from months ago
but I am still unable to get past this error. Help?

This appears to be a known widespread issue with the Bionic images. The following is a workaround until it's fixed:
Download the box manually from here
Run vagrant box add --name ubuntu/bionic64 /path/to/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant.box
Try vagrant up again

I've been having that issue for a while now. I would just go with the hashicorp box for Ubuntu 18 (bionic64)
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# Ubuntu 18 (bionic64) from Hashicorp
config.vm.box = "hashicorp/bionic64"
end

Laravel Homestead/Vagrant box error : The specified checksum type is not supported by Vagrant: sha512

I am trying to install laravel homestead and can't get past adding the homestead box.
The instruction is: vagrant box add laravel/homestead
After completing the download process following error appears.
C:\Users\HARSHA - PC PRO>vagrant box add laravel/homestead
==> box: Loading metadata for box 'laravel/homestead'
box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/homestead
==> box: Adding box 'laravel/homestead' (v9.0.1) for provider: virtualbox

box: Calculating and comparing box checksum...
The specified checksum type is not supported by Vagrant: sha512.
Vagrant supports the following checksum types:
md5, sha1, sha256
I'm on Windows 10 64 bit PC and have tried these instructions with the virtualbox(Version 6.0.0 r127566 (Qt5.6.2)) and vagrant_2.2.2_x86_64 version.
I'm trying to install Laravel homestead and am not aware of resolving this since I am new to the Laravel vagrant. I searched the web for the particular problem and I could not find any solution pertaining to the above, so any help is appreciated.
As mentioned in Vagrant's CHANGELOG.md file, new checksum types are now supported. Simply updating Vagrant to its latest version (2.2.6) should do the trick.
You can then do vagrant box update to upgrade the Homestead box.
In my case I saw in the logs that the version trying to get installed was v9.2.2-alpha1
box: Adding box 'laravel/homestead' (v9.2.2-alpha1) for provider:
virtualbox
What worked for me is defining the version by using the following parameter
--box-version=9.1.1
i.e.
vagrant box add laravel/homestead --checksum-type=sha256 --box-version=9.1.1
Also, try to download and install the latest version of vagrant.
You are using the unsupported checksum type.try installing with --checksum-type parameter. Given below,
vagrant box add laravel/homestead --checksum-type sha256
Here is the Docs to refer to while using command-line.
Try 2.2.7 version.
vagrant -v
Vagrant 2.2.7
==> box: Successfully added box 'laravel/homestead' (v9.3.0) for 'virtualbox'!
I had the same problem and it took multiple attempts.
Problems
Couldn't update the vagrant box.
Once I downloaded it wouldn't switch to the new box.
Once I switched Laravel threw a Facade error.
Solution
(with many thank you's to the answers in this thread):
Navigate to the Homestead/Vagrant folder.
Then run "vagrant -v" to check your Vagrant version (ex. "Vagrant 2.1.5").
In a web browser go to https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html .
Download the latest Vagrant version.
On your computer, run and install the new version.
Go to: https://www.virtualbox.org/
Download the lastest Virtual Machine.
On your computer, run and install the new version.
Back in the terminal, check the vagrant version again "vagrant -v" (ex. "Vagrant 2.2.10").
Make sure your Vagrant is stopped by running "vagrant halt".
Purge and reinstall your vagrant plugins to be safe with "vagrant plugin expunge --reinstall" (and confirm "Y").
Now run "vagrant box update" to update your box.
Now load your box with "vagrant up".
With your box loaded run "vagrant destroy".
Now run "vagrant up" again to rebuild your box from scratch.
This worked for me. Let me know if this works for you.

Trying to add laravel/homestead to Vagrant finishes in an error: The box failed to unpackage properly

This issue has been following me for about few days now.
Using:
Virtual Box 5.2.18
Vagrant 2.0.2 (also with version 2.1.5)
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Ruby 2.5.1
When I call command vagrant box add laravel/homestead it ends up with following error:
box: Adding box 'laravel/homestead' (v6.3.0) for provider: virtualbox
box: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/6.3.0/providers/virtualbox.box
The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box
file you're trying to add is not corrupted and that enough disk space
is available and then try again.
The output from attempting to unpackage (if any):
bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/Users/someone/.vagrant.d/tmp/box294969b313e1338f0cd6a347f68be3b599016863'
I have 100GB free disk space storage on my computer, so it's not the problem with this...
I've tried:
reinstalling Vagrant
updating macOS
deleting vagrant.d/tmp folder and trying to add box laravel/homestead which ended up with error
downgrading Virtual Box
repeating command many times hahahh
Any idea would be deeply appreciated
Might not be the solution to the OP, But I had similar issue to this one on Windows OS.
The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box file
you're trying to add is not corrupted and that enough disk space is
available and then try again.
Turns out the disk size vagrant was warning about was my user directory(Disk 1). I had the vagrant file itself in different disk altogether (Disk 2). Once I made enough space on Disk 1. Vagrant could proceed to download fine.

vagrant can't run, when i typed 「vagrant up」,there is no response (no error message)!

My os is windows 7;
vagrant box add firstBox ./virtualbox.box

I had the same problem the other day.
I tried vagrant_1.9.7_x86_64.msi on my Windows 7 box(CPU=AMD PhenomII).
'vagrant up' went totally silent with no sign of progress and without error messages of any kind.
So I tried older version vagrant_1.9.5.msi and this one just worked fine.
# I don't know whether vagrant_1.9.7_i686.msi works okey or not.

Can't install laravel homestead

I'm trying to get laravel set up on my Windows 8.1, but keep running into errors. Can anyone advise what's going wrong here and how I can sort it? I have vagrant and virtualbox setup as required. Thanks.

For me the problem was that the download of the box was not successful completely, but the file was "corrupt". You can retry the command multiple times, because vagrant resumes the download from previous failed download:
vagrant box add laravel/homestead https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead
try this command :
vagrant box add laravel/homestead https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead
please tell me if it worked or i'll delete it (i'm not able to comment)

box add from vagrantcloud using vagrant 1.4.3

I am trying to add vagrant box using vagrant 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS:
Vagrant 1.4.3 user#machine:~$ vagrant box add
ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64
and I get:
This command was not invoked properly. The help for this command is
available below.
Obviously the format of command is wrong but how can I get box:
https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64
from vagrant cloud?
vagrant box add "ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64"
is your answer.
edit:
My previous answer was based on the latest Vagrant version.
In 1.4.3 you cannot add boxes in this way because it's not working with Vagrantcloud.
Instead you need to manually specify the box url like this:
$ vagrant box add "ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64" https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64/version/7/provider/virtualbox.box --provider virtualbox
You should get the following:
Downloading box from URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64/version/7/provider/virtualbox.box
Extracting box...te: 1591k/s, Estimated time remaining: 0:00:02)
Successfully added box 'ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64' with provider 'virtualbox'!
You need to manually look up the URL of the box you want to add, and use that instead.
So, for example, say you want to add the box puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet from Vagrantcloud, you need to:
Go to https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet
Click on a version from the versions dropdown on the right hand side (eg, 1.0.0) to get to: https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1
Copy and paste the URL of the box for the provider you want to use. For Virtualbox in this case, it is: https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1/providers/virtualbox.box
Use the URL to add the box like this:
vagrant box add "puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet" https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1/providers/virtualbox.box --provider virtualbox
I struggled with this for a while. The key was getting the most recent version of vagrant -- 1.7.4 at the time that I am writing this. The download link that I used was: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro. To download ubuntu/trusty64 I went to the site https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search?utm_source=vagrantcloud.com&vagrantcloud=1 which listed the currently available boxes. You can search for a box by description. For example, entering 'debian' as a search term returns a list.
I selected a box and followed the instructions on its page (in my case the page was https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64). Here is a log of what I did next:
$ vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

This is not exactly answer to your question, but I used:
vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
and then just change ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64 name to precise32 in config file (Vagrantfile). And it looks like it is running properly. Probably there is somewhere a box file for ffuenf, but I don't know that.
