I am working on a project with a friend. and was given a the files needed to work on it. We are using a vagrant. After much troubleshooting I got to a issue I cant resolve. Vagrant is hanging at:
INFO ssh: Execute: mount -o 'vers=3,udp' 192.168.22.1:'/projects/stargaze/stargazers' /vagrant/laravel (sudo=true)
I got this by running debug mode. I ran that mount command in the vm but I get a /vagrant/laravel/ is not in /etc/fstab. I later noticed that the ipaddress where it is syncing the files is wrong I mad the correction in the vm when I ran the mount cmd again. The error i got was a access denied. THis is my last resort just short of smashing my laptop.
the host machine is ubuntu 13.10

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 installed homestead with Vagrant in my MacOS. I have installed all with Virtual Box, but when i try to use vagrant command in my terminal for running Virtual Machine appear this error:
The VirtualBox VM was created with a user that doesn't match the
current user running Vagrant. VirtualBox requires that the same user
be used to manage the VM that was created. Please re-run Vagrant with
that user. This is not a Vagrant issue.
I try with sudo vagrant up and it work but is not the best choice.
Anyone can help me?
There's a screenshot of the terminal Error:
Terminal Error with command vagrant up and vagrant ssh.
Try deleting .vagrant directory
rm -r .vagrant
I suspect you copied or moved project folder from one place to another.
Alternatively you need to update the creator_uid file in .vagrant/. Check out this blog post.
I used vagrant to deploy a virtual machine(The virtual machines runs Linux red hat OS) on virtualbox. I am trying to run vertica on the VM however every time I vagrant up provision fails and I get this error:
No such file or directory vertica-8.0.0-0.x86_64.RHEL6.rpm
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.
I downloaded vertica-8.0.0-0.x86_64.RHEL6.rpm from vertica portal and it is in the same directory as my Vagrantfile
I tried a bunch of other solutions online but nothing seems to work still
Does anybody know what the issue might be?
I've installed docker and followed the directions here: https://docs.docker.com/installation/windows/#installation but when I run boot2docker start this happens:
Trying to get IP one more time
exit status 255
Docker client does not run on Windows for now. Please use
"boot2docker" ssh
to SSH into the VM instead
Trying boot2docker ssh results in the same 255 error. I tried to get the VM IP with boot2docker IP but that also yielded nothing - I presume because boot2locker wasn't successful in the start process.
A couple of observations...I lloked at the vm settings and there wasn't any network or storage settings specified and the memory allocation in the vm settings didn't match the values in the config (boot2docker config). The boot2docker start/stop commands work.
I'm stumped.
I observed similar issue. Following steps helped me:
Open VirtualBox GUI.
Remove boot2docker-vm virtual machine.
Start Boot2Docker Start --- it will recreate boot2docker-vm virtual machine.
We had exactly this on someone's machine.
The solution for us was to find the
Run the VirtualBox UI (C:\program files\oracle....)
locate the VM (at the top)
select 'power off'
Once all that was done, boot2docker started correctly again.
In extremis, you could delete the boot2docker-vm image out of virtualbox, and it ought to re-install it.
go to the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, power off boot2docker-vm and start again. It worked for me.
just in case it helps. My problem was because boot2docker's default settings is beyond my laptop's capability (I know). I fixed the problem by changing the properties of boot2docker-vm through the VirtualBox GUI. Soon as I open thr properties I saw a few warnings at the bottom of the dialogue box, so I followed the hint and resolve those warnings, save the setttings and was able to start docker then.
I changed the CPU from 4->1, memory from 2G to 1.5G and video memory to 20M. Hope it helps.
Mostly you didn't enable the "Virtualization" in your BIOS. boot2docker needs to install 64bit OS in Virtualbox.
Its worth noting I had some huge problems trying to run docker on windows. Boot2docker would install OK with VritualBox 4.3.20. I could NOT run boot2docker or docker itself.
It took me ages to figure out that I had uninstall VirtualBox 4.3.20 and use 4.3.12 instead which worked first time like a treat!
So.. for Windows boot2docker only use VirtualBox 4.3.12.
I am using Vagrant version 1.1.5 and virtual box 4.2.22. when i do vagrant up, It fails with the following error
Error: The VM failed to remain in the "running" state while attempting to boot. This is normally caused by a misconfiguration or host system incompatibilities. Please open the VirtualBox GUI and attempt to boot the virtual machine manually to get a more informative error message.
I check the virtual box logs, It says /Applications directory is writable by everyone. So I fixed it by removing the write permission for the work for /Applications directory.
But the problem is the permission gets reset almost daily. I have to redo the above the fix daily to use vagrant. Any body know why this is happening or any direction I could take to fix this ?

I dont think the issue is to do with the permissions - well probably not... that will probably just be a warning.
Try running vagrant in Gui mode to see if you can see any errors in the VM itself.
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/virtualbox/configuration.html
First check if you are able to do
VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant ssh
if not the following solution is most probable.
One of the common error is configuration of ssh key .which one the notice using.
VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant up
There if you see vagrant looping for ssh key.
you can easily fix that using following commands .
vkey() { sudo chown "$*":staff ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key;
vkey <new_owner_username>
here vkey() is the zsh function.
