VirtualBox Error When Using Vagrant

I want to use Vagrant to create a virtual machine for a development environment. I get an error when trying to install a virtual machine in VirtualBox. The result of importing VBoxManage is shown below. My colleague can run this command without any problems. I am on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and it is on Debian.

Does anyone have an idea of ​​the meaning of this error?

It seems the question has been sitting here for a while, so maybe you have already solved the problem. We also use Vagrant and encounter an incomprehensible problem when the box was damaged.

For us, this caused a computer failure on this laptop, but work on everyone else. There was no clear indication of failure, in addition, the initialization process simply froze.

Have you checked sha1-sum or the like to make sure you have the same file in the box that your colleague uploaded? All disk image files are cached in ~ / .vagrant.d /, so you can compare the checksums in this directory immediately after import.

It looks like you haven't loaded the box yet, so the stroller does his best to find the original location of the box.

Try loading the window manually

 vagrant box add ubuntu1104 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7490647/talifun-ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.box

Also try turning on the log

$ VAGRANT_LOG = DEBUG vagrant up

http://docs-v1.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/debugging.html

Finally, try another window. He may have a newer version of guest releases of virtual boxes installed. Could explain why your colleague has no problems with this.
