Tangent: Ubuntu/Xenial Vagrant Box Has No Guest Additions To stop this happening, you need to manually name all of your boxes by doing something like this in your Vagrantfile: config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|īy setting the name for each box, we override their packaged name and correct the problem above. The first VM you bring up will be fine but the second one will collide. The problem is that the box has been packaged with its name hardcoded in it – usually it’s better not to set the name of the box and let vagrant pick a name for it (usually the name of the directory, plus the date or something). There’s a stackoverflow question about this and a good answer (not the accepted one, the highest-voted one) which helped me a bit but it still wasn’t completely clear to me how to fix my problem and I had to dig about a bit.ĮDIT: This is completely different to my original proposed solution, which actually broke other VMs! Do it this way instead … Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing name, and try again.
Due to the unique approach of Canonical to packaging vagrant boxes, the current ubuntu/xenial box has a hardcoded machine name which causes an error when you try to bring up a second VM using the same base box:Ī VirtualBox machine with the name 'ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg' already exists.
