Vagrant Gurumeditation Curse...when vagrant up in ubuntu

Posted on October 19, 2014

Hello everyone I have installed virtual box & vagrant and tried to vagrant up on a box (joomlatools) but when i did I got an error saying that the status of the virtual box was in Gurumeditation mode… I powered off the box and powered it back on but when i run vagrant up I get the below error… Does anyone know how to fix this?


There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["modifyvm", "15b64d8c-f8ab-431c-a1b0-72c2f57833c2", "--natpf1", "delete", "ssh"]

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The machine 'joomlatools-box' is already locked for a session (or being unlocked)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "LockMachine(a->session, LockType_Write)" at line 462 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp
