(linux) vmrun has not attribute "Provider"

[Techienaut]

(note: this might be vmware workstation's end where "vmrun" doesn't give a provider?) I'm getting an error: AttributeError: Vmrun instance has no attribute 'provider'

• I used the example you gave w/ Bento: mech init https://atlas.hashicorp.com/bento/boxes/...--name=bento
• username (bento box): vagrant
• running ubuntu 17.04
• vmware workstation: VMware Workstation 12.5.7 build-5813279
• mech loc: ~/.local/bin/mech
• vmrun loc: /usr/bin/vmrun
• pip version: pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
• python version: 2.7.13

Error message:

Unfortunately I've really never tested mech outside of OSX but I'll work on this when I get a chance. Seems like it needs another provider for linux:

@RiseAgainst9192 I changed things to set a provider for linux. Can you pull and try it? Reopen if you're still having issues.
