Establish a procedure to get the vagrant VM install to work on clia1

[malachig]

In the latest re-image of clia1 I was unable to get the vagrant install to work. Perhaps it was in a half baked state.

• Perhaps @mcallaway could update the puppet manifests so that Vagrant and VirtualBox installation is automatic on clia1?
• If that is not practical, we should figure out how to get a clean install of these on clia1 after it has been re-imaged.

Since clia1 is our main place for testing, and we have up to 3-4 people wanting to test at the same time, it would be nice if we could do this within multiple VMs running at the same time...

I'm trying to get this to work and this is the error that I see,

vagrant up || true

A couple more hints,

  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

This is what the log /var/log/vbox-install.log has

[gatoravi]

Ok, so I tried to install the required headers as follows,

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-29
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic

Verify that the headers exist

gmsuser@clia1 ~/gms (ubuntu-12.04-2015.02.22)> ls /usr/src/
fio  linux-headers-3.2.0-80  linux-headers-3.2.0-80-generic  linux-headers-3.8.0-29  linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic  linux-headers-3.8.0-44  linux-headers-3.8.0-44-generic  vboxhost-4.3.8

Attempt VBox setup again,

gmsuser@clia1 ~/gms (ubuntu-12.04-2015.02.22)> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.

That seems to get us past this to the next error.

The above errors are related to permissions of /tmp on clia1, On clia1 /tmp is a symlink pointing to /opt/gms, changing this to

sudo rm -f /tmp
sudo mkdir /tmp
sudo chown -R gmsuser:gmsuser /tmp
sudo chmod -R 777 /tmp

gets us past this to the next error.

If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run `vagrant up` while the
VirtualBox GUI is open.

I saw the same error with vagrant 1.8.7 on CentOS 7.3 with kernel version 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64.

The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64)

The following steps resolved the error for me:

1. yum -y install kernel-headers kernel-devel
2. Reboot.
3. sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
4. VBoxManage --version
