Mac : There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
For macos you can update privaciy and security permissions.
here is a link: https://medium.com/@Aenon/mac-virtualbox-kernel-driver-error-df39e7e10cd8
Proceeding with the following steps helped me out:
restart the virtual box using:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
Stop vagrant as follows:
vagrant halt
start vagrant as follows:
vagrant up
Go to settings
=> security & privacy
=> general
and allow permission.
Just had the same issue after latest OS update (Big Sur). Steps I had to get through in order to get it working again:
- Uninstall VirtulBox and reinstall it (it shouldn't delete your VMs)
- run
homestead box update
in Homestead directory - run
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
- Weirdly enough, followed @Alperen Tahta 's link and restarted laptop after I changed permissions.
- Vagrant up and tada!
It took me a few steps to get there but I now have my VMs up and ruinning as before.
Hope it helps ðð¼
