When doing an ansible up I get a

This answer to use the GUI prompt to choose default|safe mode does get me past that stage. http://stackoverflow.com/a/22575302/292408.

config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
  vb.gui = true
end

In addition vagrant ssh doesn't appear to work, not sure if it is related or not.

When I use vagrant box add centos/7 for Virtualbox it does work though. Interesting.

$ vagrant init centos/7

1.1.3 and 1.1.5 work as well.

[ElijahLynn]

Odd, I had updated Vagrant to 1.9.1 to get the option to init a certain version of a box.

Now 1.1.7 just hangs at default: SSH auth method: private key.

[ElijahLynn]

I checked out the repo and tried to do a diff but the tags/releases don't match the published boxes.

[geerlingguy]

@ElijahLynn - Yeah, unfortunately it's been difficult to keep the tags and box versions in sync as I never was too strict about tags when VirtualBox guest additions were updated :/

[geerlingguy]

Closing as all development work for my packer boxes is moving into a central repository, see: geerlingguy/packer-boxes#45
