Ya, on my old laptop, that just died, I was able to create the virtual environment successfully (after a bit of trial and error).

But now with my new laptop I am trying to continue with the tutorial and am not able to from being stuck at the very beginning trying to "vagrant up"

Here is as far as it gets:

leo@hp-g60:~/gswd$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... [default] Importing base box 'precise64'... [default] Matching MAC address for NAT networking... [default] Setting the name of the VM... [default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... [default] Creating shared folders metadata... [default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces... [default] Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... [default] Forwarding ports... [default] -- 22 => 2222 (adapter 1) [default] -- 8000 => 8888 (adapter 1) [default] Booting VM... [default] Waiting for VM to boot. This can take a few minutes. The VM failed to remain in the "running" state while attempting to boot. This is normally caused by a misconfiguration or host system incompatibilities. Please open the VirtualBox GUI and attempt to boot the virtual machine manually to get a more informative error message.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks
