**tl;dr:** Load the correct module: `sudo modprobe vboxnetadp`

I recently came across an article about LXC, [Exploring LXC Networking][1],
|
|
|
|
|
which used [Vagrant][2] to get a development machine up and running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wanted to try it, but stumbled across a problem for which I mostly found the OS X solution:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But this does not work on Linux. I finally found the working solution in the
|
|
|
|
|
post [Resolve a hostonlyif create error with vagrant][3]. So for full documentation I repeat it here again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I used the following Vagrant file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~ruby
|
|
|
|
|
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.box = "precise64"
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => pkg_cmd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a private network
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "10.0.4.2"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Create a public network
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.network :public_network
|
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After `vagrant up` I got the following error:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
$ vagrant up
|
|
|
|
|

|

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Loading the right kernel module helped:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
sudo modprobe vboxnetadp
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that `vagrant up` worked as expected and the machine was accessible via SSH:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~bash
|
|
|
|
|
