I am trying to set up vagrant for kong. I have installed VirtualBox and vagrant. But when i run 'vgrant up' i encounter the below issue:
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["list", "hostonlyifs"]
Stderr: VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) - Class not registered (extended info not available)
I have searched for this error with no much luck.
I am using centos 7.4 and the kernel version is 3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64.
I have downloaded the relevant gcc, devel and dkms. In short followed the link https://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-virtualbox-on-centos-redhat-and-fedora/
Any tip is appreciated.
Thanks

This is most likely a problem with your VirtualBox install, not Vagrant. To confirm this, you should receive the same error when running: VBoxManage list vms
A common reason for this error are when /tmp is full or has the incorrect permissions.
To check if /tmp is full try df -h
To fix permissions on /tmp if they're incorrect, try sudo chmod ug-s /tmp && sudo rm -rf /tmp/.vbox*
Apparently we were trying this on a VM. And Vagrant tries to spin up another VM. So having a VM spun within a VM is causing the issue.

I know that other people during the years had met similar problems (like this ) however in my case the guest addition is installed (0.30.0 version) and I tried to reinstall it a lot of times.
I work on Windows10 and those are the version of VirtualBox and Virtual Machine.
Virtualbox on your host claims: 5.2.8
VBoxService inside the vm claims: 6.1.22
This is the code of the problem:
default: /vagrant => C:/Users/XXXX XXXX/Documents/src
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev vagrant /vagrant
The error output from the command was:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Invalid argument
I never found the error Invalid argument in similar cases so my question is if this need a particular procedure.
Thank you very much
Just had a similar problem after an update - was getting the same:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Invalid argument
What I found in virtualbox startup was the message:
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Kernel headers not found for target kernel
5.4.0-81-generic. Please install them and execute
/sbin/rcvboxadd setup
Used "vagrant ssh" to access the virtualbox command line and ran:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
After that restarted vagrant:
vagrant halt
vagrant up
Then it actually built the VirtualBox Guest Additions properly and mounted my shared folders.
Had the same exact error as you after making my second vagrant project - specifically after changing my public_network setting.
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev vagrant /vagrant
The error output from the command was:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Invalid argument
At I also tried several solutions from people's answers like the one mentioned here and updated my VirtualBox.
I'm not really sure how mine works but here's what I did:
I logged into the VM (vagrant ssh) and installed the guest additions manually
cd /opt
sudo wget -c
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.26/VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.26.iso O VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.26.iso
And then tried:
sudo mount VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.28.iso -o loop /mnt
sudo sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
But I got an error saying something like permission denied or no directory.
So I reload vagrant (vagrant reload), but the error still occurred. However, I still continued trying something else, so I thought maybe I should install the vbguest plugin and did this:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
That removed the error for me after reload but when I logged into vagrant again, I still can't see my shared folders so I halted my vb and run provision:
vagrant up --provision
Then I got a message which said that there was an error while executing VBoxManage so on and so forth. So I paused all running machine in my VB, closed all running VB apps in my desktop, and run the command:
vagrant destroy
After recreating vagrant vagrant up, everything miraculously worked! I can now navigate to my shared folders' directory.
I'm still in the process of learning vagrant so I can't really explain what actually happened in my machine but I hope this can somehow be of help to you or to someone who have the same issue.
Step 1: open virtual box then right click on installation machine then ->close->power off.
Step 2: then run below command
vagrant halt
vagrant up
Finally got it working the following way (this related answer was of great help along with Paul_Z's answer in this same question).
Step 1:
Make sure VirtualBox Guest Additions Software is installed.
If this solved your Issue, then great! If not, continue on to step 2.
Step 2:
Read the VirtualBox Guest Additions installation output carefully.
(If no longer possible, you can rerun the setup by using cd to go to
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-*your-version-number-here*/init/
and then run:
sudo ./vboxadd setup)
Step 3:
Install the needed dependencies with the distribution's package manager that the error message shows. (In my particular case, it mentioned that the system couldn't perform kernel module builds because gcc make and perl were not present in the system).
Step 4:
Rerun the VirtualBox Guest Additions setup by going to
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-*your-version-number-here*/init/
and then run:
sudo ./vboxadd setup
(If more dependencies are requested, go back to step 3)
Step 5: Reboot
Step 6 (Optional):
Add user to vboxsf group so that it is able to access the shared folder if needed. (As explained in this answer).
sudo usermod -G vboxsf -a your_user_name
I have the issue i Ubuntu 20.04 and simply download a more recent version of VirtualBox, then extract the GuestAditions ISO and installed it
I ran just
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
and after this the box came up.
I have no issue running vm's using homestead up but last week I just updated to the latest Windows 10 update and now when I run the command it gives me
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["startvm", "c8da3222-7052-452a-b590-ff7144b50c9e", "--type", "headless"]

Been searching the web for a solution but got no luck.
Box Version : 2.1.0
Without more info the only advice is to run vagrant destroy && vagrant up If you still have issues after that, consider opening a new issue on https://github.com/laravel/homestead/issues/new
Issue was fixed after upgrading my Virtualbox to 5.2.
On Windows 10, I installed everything as ADMINISTRATOR and only the following configuration worked for me:
Vagrant 1.9.2 : Download Vagrant 1.9.2
Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1.30 : Download Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1.30
For older versions of VirtualBox, the virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly.
For newer versions of VirtualBox, the host-only adapter cannot be created.
When you upgrade or downgrade, make sure that you permanently delete (Shift + Delete) the following folders from C:\Users\your-user : .vagrant, .VirtualBox and Virtual VM Machines. When using vagrant up, these folders will be created again.
After each program install and uninstall, make sure to restart your computer. Old files from VirtualMachine and Vagrant are persistent until the OS boots up again.
After first running vagrant up in my homestead directory my computer bluescreened because Hyper-V was enabled. Now after disabling Hyper-V and running vagrant up I get this error:
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["showvminfo","\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"]
Stderr:
I have the latest Version of Vagrant and VirtualBox installed.
To solve this problem, you need to delete the folder .vagrant in the root directory of your project.
Then run the command vagrant up again.
I have installed Git, VirtualBox and Vargant on my Windows 10 computer.
Have problems with starting Vargant using git-bash console.
When I do vargant init - this create vargant file and looks like it's ok.
Alex#DESKTOP MINGW64 /d/shell
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
But when I try to start vagrant with vagrant up command I receive error.
Alex#DESKTOP MINGW64 /d/shell
$ vagrant up
bash: vagrant: command not found
I have tried restarting, reinstalling these software, installing latest or previouse versions of software - nothing helps - still bash: vagrant: command not found.
What shell I do next to solve the problem?
the command / program name is vagrant , not vargant. You spell it correctly in the init, but the rest of your examples have it spelled incorrect. Try running vagrant up and you should be all set.
Hello fellow programmers,
So i am currently assigned to install and configure Laravel 5 with homestead and Vagrant currently i am having various issues.. for now i came across the following error in my gitbash. Before this error i had run the init.sh again because someone told me he fixed his homestead that way..
So how can i fix this error?
Oh and i am working on Windows 7.

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

==> default: Setting the name of the VM: homestead
The name of your virtual machine couldn't be set because VirtualBox
is reporting another VM with that name already exists. Most of the
time, this is because of an error with VirtualBox not cleaning up
properly. To fix this, verify that no VMs with that name do exist
(by opening the VirtualBox GUI). If they don't, then look at the
folder in the error message from VirtualBox below and remove it
if there isn't any information you need in there.

You already did this, as stated in the error message?
To fix this, verify that no VMs with that name do exist (by opening the VirtualBox GUI). If they don't, then look at the folder in the error message from VirtualBox below and remove it if there isn't any information you need in there.
I was confused by the response because I was deleting the machine form virtual box manager. I went to the c/users/%user%/Vbox directory and deleted all the boxes and was able to reload the vbox. I suspect all data was lost but it was a fresh install but curious how to back up the data and restore it in this situation. (I.e. in the event I had data there I needed.)
