vmware ubuntu 16.10 rgloader

[Christof Lemke]

Hi,

I am trying to vagrant up a vmware virtual machine on ubuntu 16.10 using the vagrant-vmware-workstation plugin.
I am using the latest version (1.9.1 64bit) from https://www.vagrantup.com/ and vmware workstation 12.5.2.
The pluging was installed using

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-workstation
and activated with a valid licence.

I have symlinked the gems folder from .vagrant.d to a folder outside my home folder, because the nosuid is set on my encrypted home folder.

The configuration of the virtual machine always fails like this:

INFO subprocess: Starting process: ["/usr/bin/vmrun", "getGuestIPAddress", "/home/lemke/code/xamarin/test-cloud-execution-pipeline/devicehost/devicehost1604.dev/.vagrant/machines/default/vmw
are_workstation/fa5293c7-9580-4c17-842f-9139638fb1e1/packer-ubuntu-16.04-amd64.vmx"]
 INFO subprocess: Command not in installer, restoring original environment...
DEBUG subprocess: Selecting on IO
DEBUG subprocess: stdout: Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine: /home/lemke/code/xamarin/test-cloud-execution-pipeline/devicehost/devicehost1604.dev/.vagrant/machine
s/default/vmware_workstation/fa5293c7-9580-4c17-842f-9139638fb1e1/packer-ubuntu-16.04-amd64.vmx
DEBUG subprocess: Waiting for process to exit. Remaining to timeout: 32000
DEBUG subprocess: Exit status: 255

hello

you can email sup...@hashicorp.com

what you can try is.

copy the ~/.vagrant.d to a folder outside home

set VAGRANT_HOME variable to this new home.

now, the error seems to came from the box, but looks all is working fine, but failing on vmtools

can you try a different box?

hashicorp/precise64 will do the trick

Thank you.

Moving .vagrant.d and setting VAGRANT_HOME worked.
