I installed docker-toolbox on Windows to give it a try. It seems to be working find.
But my vagrant stopped working. Now when I try to vagrant up (completely different project), I see:
The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:
Vagrant has detected that you have a version of VirtualBox installed
that is not supported. Please install one of the supported versions
listed below to use Vagrant:
4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
Not sure what I should do to fix this. If I remove/install Virtualbox, will it still work with docker-toolbox?
Running on
Windows 7
Vagrant 1.7.2
Docker Toolbox has installed VirtualBox 5.0
upgrade vagrant to 1.7.3 and it will support (see https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5572) ideally upgrade to vagrant 1.7.4

I have Virtualbox already installed on a Mac El Capitan machine running several VMs that I need to continue to use. I understand that Docker Toolbox will install its own Virtualbox.
I'd like to not disrupt my existing VMs. Is there any possibility that the two Virtualbox installations would conflict and if so, are there any known remedies?
I just installed Docker Toolbox on my Macbook Pro running El Captian 10.11.4. I had VirtualBox 5.0.8 already installed and working properly. When Docker Toolbox automatically recognized this VirtualBox installation and started using it without any problems.
You don't have to install docker toolbox: you can install docker machine and kinematic separately.
docker machine installation is straight-forward (just copy the executable)
curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.5/docker-machine_darwin-amd64 >/usr/local/bin/docker-machine && \
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
You might want to upgrade your VirtualBox to the latest version though.
I have a problem with Vagrant, trying to initialize a virtualbox with laravel/homestead box.
I have installed latest version of Vagrant (1.7.4) on my Windows 8 OS.
I have installed Oracle VirtualBox 5.5.0.
Then I did this in windows Command Prompt:
vagrant add box laravel/homestead to add the laravel homestead box
vagrant init laravel/homestead
and
vagrant up
After vagrant up somewhere in the process the system fails with BSoD (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Any ideas of what i could have done wrong, or have anybody experienced this problem?
Thank you!
Make sure you don't have Hyper-V windows resource active.
If you had installed Docker before check this, coz Docker needs Hyper-V.
In my case this works for me
Search for "Windows resource" on your windows start menu, and click on Enable or Disable windows resources, find Hyper-V, uncheck all checkboxes and OK. Restart your machine after this.

I had almost same issue(BSOD gave error SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION).
Yesterday I installed Docker on Windows 10 and today I tried to "vagrant up"(using VirtualBox Provisioner) and got the BSOD. Hyper-V was conflicting and I turned it off from "Windows Features" and the issue got resolved.
VirtualBox won't boot the VM no matter what...I tryied with Vagrant and Docker.
Vagrant gave me timed out messages and Docker gave me exit code (1). I read tons of suggestions related to this problem but still found no solution. Any suggestion is welcomed.
VirtualBox version: 4.3.26
Vagrant version: 1.7.2
Docker Version: 1.6.0
and I'm running on windows 8.1
Which OS do you want to use in VirtualBox VM? For me it worked when I downloaded the latest version from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. I have had troubles with some OS images but as I understand the question you don't even get that far.
Tried the solution in docker on windows not working ? It's Windows 7 but might solve your issue.
I managed to fix it by just shutting down the Virtual Box VM network.It set itself up again on NAT when I rebooted the VM, so that was the solution... It's probably a virtualbox bug.
I am able to get Vagrant to communicate with Virtualbox without any problems (using Vbox headless and VBoxManage). However for some reason, the VM failed to boot up. When I try to bring it manually from Virtualbox, it just gives me a black screen with no indication of a presence of linux image. There is no communication (from vagrant) after trying to boot-up presumably because the VM isnt booting. It just times-out.
I tried with several vagrant boxes but same result. (Ubuntu Images - quantal and precise)
Versions
Vagrant 1.3.3
Virtualbox 4.0.8 +4.2.18

I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
