I've tried several times to start the Docker VM via the Docker Quickstart Terminal. After deleting the default virtual machine in VirtualBox I receive the following output
Creating Machine default...
Running pre-create checks...
Creating machine...
(default) OUT | Creating VirtualBox VM...
(default) OUT | Creating SSH key...
(default) OUT | Starting VirtualBox VM...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: exit status 1
Looks like something went wrong... Press any key to continue...
To troubleshoot further, I attempted to start the default machine in the VirtualBox GUI directly using Start > Headless Start, as suggested in other Docker issues. The startup failed and I received an error dialog box with the content:
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).

Docker Toolbox 1.9.1a
Windows 10 Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.14)
One of the answers to this question solved my problem. Here it is with a few edits:
I found a solution
Open Windows Network Connections
Right click on VirtualBox Host only adapter that was created
Choose properties
Check "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking driver"
Disable and Enable the highlighted item
For me "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" was not checked. I checked it and clicked OK to close the Properties window. After that, the Docker Quickstart Terminal was able to start the VM successfully.
The same thing happened to me. At this moment I am using Windows Home.
At least in my case, what happened was that the environment variables DOCKER_MACHINE and DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH were not created for the system.
I just had to add them and it worked.
I tried to follow #chris-hunt answer, but I didn't found the highlighted item. I realized it was due to the fact I didn't installed the VirtualBOX that comes in the Docket Tools installation. I think I was using an older version.
So I uninstalled docker tools AND VitualBOX, both on windows Control Panel. After that, I reinstalled Docker Tools with the VirtualBOX checked, and it finally worked.
When I attempt to initiate 'vagrant up' the script executes as normal until it gets to the last line, where NFS shared drives are mounted.
I have tried deleting the exports file in /etc/ followed by a nfsd restart and vagrant destroy / vagrant up but to no avail.
After some considerable amount of time the console outputs the following [certain details redacted]:
*==> default: Mounting NFS shared folders...*
*The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!*
*mount -o 'nolock,vers=3,udp,noatime' XXX.XXX.XX.X:'/Users/dhatton/Google Drive/moodle-doodle/site' /var/www/site*
*Stdout from the command:*
*Stderr from the command:*
*mount.nfs: Connection timed out*
UPDATE
The above problem was encountered when using a VPN into the office network. Upon logging in on-site without the VPN, everything works again.
For macOS Monterey 12.1 with virtualBox 6.1.30 and vagrant Vagrant 2.2.19/18:
create vbox folder in /etc
create a file inside /etc/vbox named networks.conf
add the following inside networks.conf
* 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0
Note: if you get the ip address range error, add your IP here too.
I had similar issue. I searched a lot, and tried following solutions:
Check /etc/exports and /etc/hosts files, if there are invalid entries in file, remove them.
Check your firewall is not blocking access
Restart NFS system
install vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest plugin
do vagrant reload --provision
Reboot your pc
Reinstall vagrant
For me reinstalling vagrant worked.
I've ran across this before and the problem turned out to be related to my companies VPN. If I tried running vagrant up connected to the VPN it would hang on mounting NFS, but if I disconnected from VPN and tried again it worked. Once running I could connect to VP Probably goes back to it needing a stable internet connection.
Assuming you are trying to mount from guest to host (host being OSX?) trying mounting to a different path. You might be encountering issues with the space in Google Drive?
Vagrant downloads binaries from its cloud while configuring a VM, so a stable internet connection is needed. In fact, an internet connection is necessary for using most of the Hashicorp products.
I am setting up my previously working vagrant environment in Windows 10. I've updated to the newest version of both VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14040) and Vagrant.
When I vagrant up I get an error: Cannot rename this connection. A connection with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different name.
I've since tried deleting all of my boxes, deleting the .vagrant and .virtualbox directories, reinstalling both virtualbox and vagrant. Yet, I always get the same error. Here is the error message from my console:
The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it
to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the
'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured
properly and try again.
If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run vagrant up while the
VirtualBox GUI is open.
The primary issue for this error is that the provider you're using
is not properly configured. This is very rarely a Vagrant issue.
I had the same issue with Scotchbox, and even after installing the test build the issue was still there.
This is how I fixed the issue.
Step 1: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14040/VBox-Win10-fix-14040.exe and leave it running in the background
Step 2: Head to the Virtual box program files ( C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox ).
Step 3: Go to compatibility for these three .exe ( Virtualbox.exe, VBoxHeadless.exe, and VBoxManage.exe ) and choose windows 7.
Then just run vagrant up again and it should work.
Right, I've spent a lot of time trying to resolve this. And I finally came across a post on the laracasts forum:
I've been able to get Homestead up and running after a day of troubleshooting with the following steps:
Installed the VirtualBox 5.0.1 test build
https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.1-101902-Win.exe
Information at: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14040
I also reinstalled Vagrant 1.7.4
This solved the initial issue with VirtualBox, but presented another
issue. When I attempted to "vagrant up" I would get a pop-up error
message from VirtualBox about not being able to rename the connection,
the VM wouldn't boot, and I would get the error message that
#antonybudianto posted in terminal.
I applied a suggestion made by Venimus in this thread:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6059
I edited line 17 in /Homestead/scripts/homestead.rb as follows:
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.10", name: "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #3"
Apparently the trick is to include the name of the host-only adapter
that you've already set up in VirtualBox. By doing this, you prevent
Vagrant from attempting to rename the connection. You just need to
make sure that the name matches the name of your adapter in Windows.
Also, go into the VirtualBox GUI and make sure that the host-only
adapter is on the same network, but not the same ip. My homestead is
192.168.10.10, my VirtualBox host-only adapter is set to 192.168.10.9.
This seems to be working well for me, and has the advantage of not
changing your Vagrant install at all. It's a Homestead-only
modification.
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/windows-10-vagrant-virtualbox-homestead/replies/87037
It has worked for me. Do note this part:
You just need to make sure that the name matches the name of your
adapter in Windows. Also, go into the VirtualBox GUI and make sure
that the host-only adapter is on the same network, but not the same
ip. My homestead is 192.168.10.10, my VirtualBox host-only adapter is
set to 192.168.10.9.
Hope it helps.
You have to uncheck the actual Ethernet network adapter by click rightclick >> Properties>> uncheckbox for virtualBox NDIS6 Brdige Networking Drive
so you have to check that checkbox on Virtual adapter only
This problem appears on my Windows 7, using vagrant 1.9.6 and VirtualBox 5.1.22.
The problem was that I previously removed some of the Host-Only adapters.
A workaround for this problem was to change the IPv4 address of existing Host-Only adapter to match the VagrantFile configuration:
look for IP in Vagrantfile for config.vm.network:
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.42.10"
modify the IPv4 address of existing Host-only adapter to match the IP. Got to VirtualBox -> File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Networks - > right click on VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter (Edit Host-only Network). Change IPv4 address to:
192.168.42.1
Uninstall VirtualBox using CCLeaner then remove virtual adapter if it still exist from network and sharing center. For remove try using Device Manager and find networks and find the virtualbox adapters and remove them.
Then finally install it and don't launch it. Go to installation folder and right click on it and run it as Administrator.
:)
Njoy... Happy coding. :)
Our vagrant box takes ~1h to provision thus when vagrant up is run for the first time, at the very end of provisioning process I would like to package the box to an image in a local folder so it can be used as a base box next time it needs to be rebuilt. I'm using vagrant-triggers plugin to place the code right at the end of :up process.
Relevant (shortened) Vagrantfile:
pre_built_box_file_name = 'image.vagrant'
pre_built_box_path = 'file://' + File.join(Dir.pwd, pre_built_box_file_name)
pre_built_box_exists = File.file?(pre_built_box_path)
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = 'ubuntu/trusty64'
config.vm.box_url = pre_built_box_path if pre_built_box_exists
config.trigger.after :up do
if not pre_built_box_exists
system("echo 'Building gett vagrant image for re-use...'; vagrant halt; vagrant package --output #{pre_built_box_file_name}; vagrant up;")
end
end
end
The problem is that vagrant locks the machine while the current (vagrant up) process is running:
An action 'halt' was attempted on the machine 'gett',
but another process is already executing an action on the machine.
Vagrant locks each machine for access by only one process at a time.
Please wait until the other Vagrant process finishes modifying this
machine, then try again.
I understand the dangers of two processes provisioning or modifying the machine at one given time, but this is a special case where I'm certain the provisioning has completed.
How can I manually "unlock" vagrant machine during provisioning so I can run vagrant halt; vagrant package; vagrant up; from within config.trigger.after :up?
Or is there at least a way to start vagrant up without locking the machine?
vagrant
This issue has been fixed in GH #3664 (2015). If this still happening, probably it's related to plugins (such as AWS). So try without plugins.
vagrant-aws
If you're using AWS, then follow this bug/feature report: #428 - Unable to ssh into instance during provisioning, which is currently pending.
However there is a pull request which fixes the issue:
Allow status and ssh to run without a lock #457
So apply the fix manually, or waits until it's fixed in the next release.
In case you've got this error related to machines which aren't valid, then try running the vagrant global-status --prune command.
Definitely a bit more of a hack than a solution, but I'd rather a hack than nothing.
I ran into this issue and nothing that was suggested here was working for me. Even though this is 6 years old, it's what came up on a google (along with precious little else), I thought I'd share what solved it for me in case anyone else lands here.
My Setup
I'm using vagrant with ansible-local provisioner on a local virtualbox VM, which provisions remote AWS EC2 instances. (i.e. the ansible-local runs on the virtualbox instance, vagrant provisions the virtualbox instance, ansible handles the cloud). This setup is largely because my host OS is Windows and it's a little easier to take Microsoft out of the equation on this one.
My Mistake
Ran an ansible shell task with a command that doesn't terminate without user input (and did not run it with the & to run in the background).
My Frustration
Even in the linux subsystem, trying a ps aux | grep ruby or ps aux | grep vagrant was unhelpful because the PID would change every time. Probably a reason for this, likely has something to do with how the subsystem works, but I don't know what that reason is.
My Solution
Just kill the AWS EC2 instances manually. In the console, in the CLI, pick your flavor. Your terminal where you were running vagrant provision or vagrant up should then finally complete and spit out the summary output, even if you ctrl + C'd out of the command.
Hoping this helps someone!
Since homestead 2.0 homestead laravel has not been working
I don't know why 'homestead init' creates a Homestead.yaml file in mydirectory/.homestead
and not in the project directory. Homestead up OR Vagrant up create the following message
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'laravel/homestead'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
I solved by using vboxmanage to get the ID of the VM.
$ vboxmanage list vms
"my-vm" {c700b8b6-b766-4638-871b-736b44b7db18}
Copy the ID of the desired VM (the c700…db18 string) into the contents of ~/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id. Save the file then run vagrant up to get the vm working without having to destroy it.
For me, the machine was not showing up as an active VM in the VirtualBox application. To fix I had to do this:
vagrant global-status
This gave me the ID of the machine that I needed to destroy. With the ID, run:
vagrant destroy {VM ID}
I had to run that in sudo to actually destroy the machine. At that point, I was able to run
vagrant up
From the following message :
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'vm_name' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
I listed current running virtual machines from the command line :
VBoxManage list vms
Result :
"vm_name" {8ba467b7-da96-4f68-9bf8-671dd6f0d007}
Then proceeded with the removal of the offending virtual machine :
VBoxManage unregistervm 8ba467b7-da96-4f68-9bf8-671dd6f0d007 --delete
You probably have a virtualbox running! Open the programme virtualbox and shut down the other virtualbox ;)
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/shut-down-virtualbox-43657.html
If this isn't working then you might want to delete the old homestead folder and place all your projects in the new folder ;)
I'm a bit late to the party on this, but for anyone else having this issue SergioPeluzzi came closest, but didn't get the cigar with this:
Seek for vb.name = settings["name"] = "homestead" line and changed "homestead" to "HOMESTEAD" and "vói lá"
The line is actually:
vb.name = settings["name"] ||= "homestead"
As you can see from the bit that says settings["name"], you just need to add a name field to your Homestead YAML file, e.g.
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
name: my-sexy-homestead-box
I edited Homestead.yaml and add new name for it
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 4
provider: virtualbox
name: my-new-homestead-box-name
I solved this editing /Homestead_folder/scripts/homestead.rb
Seek for vb.name = settings["name"] = "homestead" line and changed homestead to HOMESTEAD and "vói lá" that worked for me.
I had an old .vagrant directory in my project which was causing the error :)
If this doesn't fix it for you i would suggest opening VirtualBox and removing all VirtualBoxes and trying again.
You just have to add the key name to your homestead.yaml file right after the provider like this:
name: name_of_you_machine
That works for me.
I had same issue today. Spend few hours to find the solution.
If by any reason you can't find the list of exiting virtual machines then type in terminal
sudo virtualbox
This will run Virtual Box in GUI. You should see the the full list of VMs and from there you'd be able to manage them.
Typing "virtualbox" only won't show anything. You need to be root (administrator).
Thanks to mightyspaj for the tip.
Commands to execute:
vagrant box list
vagrant box remove laravel/homestead
vagrant global-status
vagrant destroy nameOfYourBox
Open your VirtualBox and delete all itens of your homestead
vagrant up
I opened the virtualBox and then deleted homestead vm that was created earlier. It helped.
I was receiving the same error message, even after running "homestead destory", and "vagrant destroy". Same as you, I was using the VirtualBox provider, vagrant, and homestead. Here's what I did:
Opened VirtualBox GUI. I see "homestead" as a VM, but I cannot remove it, button is greyed out.
I logged out of my OS, logged back in and re-opened VirtualBox. Status is now "aborted" and i'm able to remove.
There were some residual files in ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/homestead, so i ran rm -r /Users/gabriel/VirtualBox\ VMs/homestead
I am now able to run "homestead up"
Open VirtualBox GUI. See for your VM and remove it.
It solved my problem.
Sometimes you might not want to delete old box. Yesterday may old Vagrant has broken, I've updated Vagrant and Virtualbox but folders mapping didn't work. I wanted to run new box and had this error.
I didn't want to remove old box (because I wanted to run some backups) but I wanted to run new box. The solution was running VirtualBox, right click on Homestead machine and choose Settings and then changing name from homestead to homestead_old.
After that I was able to install homestead but had this old machine and could also run this to make any backups I needed.
If you are a Windows User, make sure you delete C:\Users\<Username>\VirtualBox VMs\homesteadfolder. Because if there is still a folder named homestead, the action of vagrant up will not be completed
If you want to keep keep your machine, without destroying and recreating following steps should solve your problem.
(I work on OS X El Captain, Vagrant 1.8.1)
Run homestead in debug mode
homestead --debug up
Look for something like in the output:
INFO machine: Initializing machine: default INFO machine: -
Provider: VagrantPlugins::ProviderVirtualBox::Provider INFO machine:
- Box: # INFO machine: - Data dir: /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/Workspace/Homestead/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox
Data dir, is the path which is interesting for you.
Then vboxmanage list vms
"homestead" {0e8438b9-4a67-4fb1-80cb-2c62cf04ab5c}
"settler_default_1447385930122_73498_1474294682778_13108"
{93ecb93f-f159-4406-a384-5312b4d3ab34}
Edit id file, in the path which you found out in the previous command
vi /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/Workspace/Homestead/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id
Replace content of that file, with the id of the VM you want to fix, in this scenario it is
0e8438b9-4a67-4fb1-80cb-2c62cf04ab5c
Now try
homestead up
VM should start booting. It might work, or you might have issues with ssh authentication
default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
To fix that do following
Check Homestead SSH config
homestead ssh-config
You should get something like
Host default HostName 127.0.0.1 User vagrant Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile
"/Users/pryznar/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
Edit IdentityFile file
/Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
Check Homestead.yml
cat /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.homestead/Homestead.yaml
Then copy path to the file under the key keys, and copy private key from that file
cat ~/.homestead/ssh/id_rsa
Last step is to replace private key in /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key with the one you just copied
Now try rung homestead again, should work.
homestead up
I got some warnings, but so far it works without issues
==> default: Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
==> default: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES) The SSH command
responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means
the command failed. The output for this command should be in the log
above. Please read the output to determine what went wrong.
You can open the VirtualBox GUI and remove the conflicting virtual machine.
None of this worked for me. I was using an old dev machine
I attempted:
vagrant global-status > destroy any by id which you don't need or match what is conflicting
open virtualbox and remove + delete files for any which you don't need or are conflicting
What worked:
locate your ~/.vagrant/machines/ or ~/.vagrant.d/boxes folder. In my case, it contained the conflicting vm and also a bunch of old left over vm machines which steps 1 & 2 did not remove for some reason.
after clearing these, everything worked fine again, finally!
Windows10
Edit Homestead.yaml file and give a new name for the box:
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox
name: my-new-vbox #new name for the box
and run vagrant up or vagrant up --provision
Or
Open Virtualbx application in GUI and delete all the virtualbox that was causing problem and run the above command
Or
Delete the "Vagrant" file inside homestead folder and run the above command.
I had the following error:
Error:
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead-7' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
Solution:
Find the VirtualBox VMS folder, in my case it was in ~/VirtualBox VMs
List the elements in the folder with ls command, and review if the virtual machine is there
Delete the folder with the name of the machine, in my case homestead-7
Re-execute the vagrant up command in the homestead folder
That's all, I hope it's helpful, that was my solution.
Regards!
In my case the following article provide the solution. There was a folder named homestead inside the path /var/root/VirtualBox VMs/ that was causing the issue. Once this folder was removed, rm -r homestead, the issue was resolved. If you can not see or have access to this path execute the following commands in your terminal windows:
$ sudo -s
$ cd /var/root/VirtualBox\ VMs
And proceed to delete the homestead folder.
Add --force after box, and before your given name.
Renaming an already existing default VM
Disclaimer
The following procedure will destroy your VM and may be only suiteable in a desting-environment like mine! For production environments, consider to repair the association like described here
I had this problem after overriding the default name of an already existing VM by using
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.define :ubuntu_test
where the VirtualBox name was also set (as a newbie I assumed that Vagrand will use this name too)
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu-Test"
end
By adding config.vm.define it seems that Vagrant doesn't associate the VirtualBox VM any more with the Vagrant file since even vagrant destroy -f say VM not created but vagrant up throw this error
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'Ubuntu-Test' already exists.
To delete those zombie VM
If the VM is running, stop it first: vboxmanage shutdown <VMName> (Here the name is Ubuntu-Test)
Get the Id by running vboxmanage list vms
Delete it: vboxmanage unregistervm <Id> --delete
Now your VM can be re-created using vagrant up
Using vagrant global-status --prune, your new name is present
For me id file was present in the below-mentioned location.
D:\drupalvm.vagrant\machines\drupalvm\virtualbox
After a few hours of troubleshooting, nothing else worked for me, as no one mentioned this little detail.
Depending on your privileges at the time of installation, you may need to run virtualbox as an administrator. It was only when I did this that I saw my vagrant boxes in the list of virtual machines.
I then proceeded to remove my virtual machine named homestead from virtualbox, and the problem was solved.
If you're using homestead in Windows, just open up your Oracle VM VirtualBox and delete the homestead VM.
The Vagrant relies on VirtualBox (if that's the default provider) so it checks for existing environment first before provisioning your VM.
It is executing the following command:
VBoxManage list vms
and when it finds the VM with the same hostname, so it'll fail.
You can debug it by:
vagrant --debug up
to find out the exact reason.
Solution
If you're planning to use multiple VMs in different folders, then you need to change your config.vm.hostname (possibly config.vm.provider(name) as well) in your Vagrantfile to make it unique. Or simply remove it, so Vagrant will assign a different name for each VM.
If that's not the case, simply shutdown and unregister previous VM which conflicts by running:
VBoxManage controlvm NAMEOFVM poweroff
VBoxManage unregistervm NAMEOFVM --delete
and re-run your vagrant up.
If it fails on directory rename (because you missed --delete), then rename or remove the destination folder, for example:
rm -fr ~/"VirtualBox VMs/NAMEOFVM"
and re-try again.
This problem may be related to: GitHub issue #2969 - vagrant up not detecting a previously run VM
In my case, nothing was indicating that the VM "already exists" besides that error message. Nothing on VirtualBox UI, nothing returned by “vboxmanage list vms”, nothing through “vagrant global-status”, it didn’t exist in “.vagrant.d\boxes” and so on. I resolved it by manually creating a new same-name VM in the VM VirtualBox Manager (using the “new” button + accepting all the defaults), and then removing it (right-click > remove). After that, the “vagrant up” worked as expected.
I had the same issue today. Windows 10. I recently had updated Homestead, so the error was probably because of that. I tried it all, destroy, up, delete folders, whatever. Whenever I tried to run vagrant up, it was showing this kind of errors. The solution? After updating, I noticed that Homestead is now naming the boxes by the project folder name, and Homestead.yaml has all that infos. I just run that Homestead Windows configuration vendor\\bin\\homestead make and later them a vagrant up (before making sure it was all clean) and voilá, looks like the machine is booting now. =) Try that if you need it.
