Here's the problem:
I have recently upgraded my vagrant version and fiddled with some other stuff, and now vagrant is broken. If I do vagrant up, it gives me one line of output:
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
but hangs after this and does nothing else, no matter how long I wait.
Here's a brief history of my situation:
I am on Gentoo. I had been using v 1.9.5 for a long time, successfully, with virtualbox as the back end. I am now at 1.9.8, although I have also tried 2.0.0 (from Portage, the pkg mgr), and their behavior is the same. Vbox seems to be installed and working fine. I have an unrelated Win7 VM in Vbox, and that boots and runs fine (although I keep it turned off when trying to use vagrant).
If I mkdir foo, and then cd foo; vagrant init; vagrant up; the result is what I describe above. That one line, then it hangs. It does the same thing in my dev directory where I had been happily going along for many months with 1.9.5. I tried replacing the Vagrantfile in that dev directory last week... thinking the V-file format might have changed a bit. So I did a new vagrant init, and then copied the operative details from my old V-file into the new one that 1.9.8 (or 2.0.0?) created. No go.
No matter what I do, I get that one line, as above, and then hang forever.
Please help me figure out how to get beyond this!
