On old Ubuntu 14.04 LTS trusty, ‘vagrant ssh’ can’t connect: “default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying…”. This is a bug with known bypass.

$ nano Vagrantfile
## Vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
   config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-16.04"
   config.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |vb|
       vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cableconnected1", "on"]
   end
end
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

And you’re in:

vagrant@vagrant:~$
