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
Windows 7

I am using MacOS Mojave and have installed VirtualBox VM. My OS in VM is Ubuntu. My problem is that I want my VM machine to be fullscreen. I have tried every method given on stackoverflow but none seems to work.
I have read that
Oracle VM VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time.
I found the above statment on https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch14.html Does this mean that fullscreen is not possible?
If there is a way to fullscreen, then kindly let me know.
Edit: Removed Image
It is possible for Guest Ubuntu to get fullscreen in Host Mac. You need to install Guest Additions. You can get them(for virtualbox 6.1) here-
Guest Addtions
-
Open your Terminal.
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
I am trying to configure mininet on the virtual box version VirtualBox 5.1.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty") - AMD64 native machine.
facing the following issues:

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
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 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.
