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: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
==> 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.
VirtualBox error:

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.)

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.
Now I am facing an error about vagrant and virtualbox. I can't up my vagrant. while I up my vagrant it is show error below.
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:
VirtualBox is complaining that the installation is incomplete. Please
run `VBoxManage --version` to see the error message which should contain
instructions on how to fix this error.
After I run "VBoxManage --version" it shows
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
6.1.10_Ubuntur138449
Does anyone used to know this error, could you help me to fix this problem. I already search a lot but, cannot apply the solution. Sometimes they talk about disable secure boot. Thank you in advance !!
Ubuntu 20.04
Vagrant 2.2.9
Version 6.1.10_Ubuntu r138449
System: Windows 10 Home 64bit, Vagrant 2.2.13, VirtualBox 6.1.16
Few seconds after running "vagrant up" command i'm getting this error:
There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Progress state: E_INVALIDARG.
VBoxManage.exe: error: Appliance import failed.
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057) - One or more arguments are invalid (extended info not available).
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "enum RTEXITCODE __cdecl handleImportAppliance(struct HandlerArg )" at line 1118 of file VBoxManageAppliance.cpp
I have already:
Checked if there is no other virtual boxes running;
Tried to run different commands: vagrant provision, vagrant reload --provision, vagrant up --provision, vagrant up, vagrant reload.
Deleted ".vagrant" folder in the "Homestead" folder;
Still, not running.
My Homestead.yaml.
How to fix it and make Homestead run normally?
Thank you for your time and help.
OK, in my case situation was solved by moving VirtualBox default machine folder to another drive, because there was not enough space on C drive, that was originally configured in VirtualBox.
In other words this error "Code E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)" means you have not enough space for your virtual machine to start.
Change the drive and you should be good to go.
See attached image of the VirtualBox setting window:
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 am trying to set up virtual machine using virtual box. I have got virtual box and vagrant installed in my windows 7 64-bit machine. I have also built an environment using puphpet. But whenever I try to install the box ubuntu1404-x64 it throws the error

I checked the URL https://atlas.hashicorp.com/puphpet/boxes/ubuntu1404-x64/ and the box puphpet/ubuntu1404-x64 does exist.
Also when it says The error message, if any, is reproduced below it does not show any description at the terminal.
I googled the issue, tried some of the answers here at stackoverflow but no result. Please help.
I've had a similar situation in the past, and it helped me to download the box using vagrant command line, instead of having it be downloaded automatically ( from the URL in Vagrantfile ):
$ vagrant box add USER/BOX
see more here. Could you try the same approach? It might work for you as well.
EDIT: on a windows box, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redist looks to be needed to perform the provisioning of the box. It can be downloaded here. More info on the puhpet issuet: here
I ran into a similar problem and fixed it by installing the latest version of vagrant.
