Vagrant problem: timeout when connecting by SSH

Question

I’m trying to climb up to my box in Vagrant. When I give one vagrant up it performs everything correctly, but when connecting with ssh, keeps giving timeout.

Follow the stacktrace in the powershell:

Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.

If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that
Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors
are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.

If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.
Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly,
as well.

If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.

Follow also my own Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure
# configures the configuration version (we support older styles for
# backwards compatibility). Please don't change it unless you know what
# you're doing.

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "hellobits"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.hellobits.com/vagrant/hellobits-trusty64-virtualbox.box"

  config.ssh.insert_key = false

end

Someone could give me a light?

Your machine may be waiting for some confirmation on the keyboard. You can do two things:

A) Checking by GUI - Add this stretch to your Vagrantfile:

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

B) Sending command via Vbox

First, see which is the machine ID:

vboxmanage list runningvms

With the collected ID, for example, projects_1234567890, run:

vboxmanage controlvm projects_1234567890 keyboardputscancode 1c
