Vagrant error with libvirt

Question

I'm trying to set up vagrant for the first time in my life while following a tutorial. I'm using the VVCW box because I want to work with WordPress with it. So I downloaded the zip file and unzip it on a folder at my /home and didn't change the default.yml file.

That is the result: (I'm on a Xubuntu 18.04)

fabio@thinkpad:~/Vagrant/vccw$ vagrant up

I just tried with another box and the same error happened.

Someone can help me? Thanks a lot!

Edit-1: looking for the error elsewhere, I just installed vagrant-libvirt plugin.

fabio@thinkpad:~/Vagrant/teste$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt Installing the 'vagrant-libvirt' plugin. This can take a few minutes... Installed the plugin 'vagrant-libvirt (0.0.43)'!

But when I did vagrant up, the same error was shown. :(

Edit-2: I followed instructions and did that:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt $ sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virt-manager $ sudo adduser fabio libvirt $ sudo adduser fabio libvirt-qemu $ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirtd restart

The error persists the same... :(

Answer 1

I just discovered the issue

I'm using VirtualBox version 6.0 from the repositories and the Vagrant version of the repositories isn't the latest version so the conflict.

So first I removed vagrant with

sudo apt --purge remove vagrant

sudo apt autoremove

After that I downloaded the final release of Vagrant from here and installed:

sudo dpkg -i vagrant_x.x.x_x86_64.deb

The installation was pretty fast and so I call for the Vagrant version to be sure it was installed:

vagrant version

I got this output:

Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

The plugins failed to initialize correctly. This may be due to manual modifications made within the Vagrant home directory. Vagrant can attempt to automatically correct this issue by running:

vagrant plugin repair

If Vagrant was recently updated, this error may be due to incompatible versions of dependencies. To fix this problem please remove and re-install all plugins. Vagrant can attempt to do this automatically by running:

vagrant plugin expunge --reinstall

Or you may want to try updating the installed plugins to their latest versions:

vagrant plugin update

Error message given during initialization: Unable to resolve dependency: user requested 'vagrant-libvirt (= 0.0.43)'

So I decided (actually remembered) to uninstall vagrant-libvirt:

sudo apt --purge remove vagrant-libvirt

Did a sudo apt update - just in case...

and vagrant up again.

And It works!!!!!!! :)
