I was following along in a RHCSA labs course and ran into the following error I can not seem to get past. I know someone else who successfully ran through the installation so I am curious what is going wrong for me. Below I have my Environment information and the steps I followed to recreate the error on my second machine.
My Environment Info:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Windows 10
Vagrant: 2.3.0 2.3.2
vboxmanage: 6.1.38 7.1
Steps to Repro:
Install virtualbox
Install vagrant
git clone https://github.com/rdbreak/rhcsa8env
cd rhcsa8env
vagrant up
Should get through setting up “server2” but then “repo” fails with following error.
Error:

This error comes when I attempt to import the virtual appliance to virtualbox so I am leaning towards virtualbox being the part having the issue but I have no idea what the issue is.
Things I’ve tried:
- I tried this on two different machines (Windows & Linux)
- Tried running
vagrant destroy -f - Removed all boxes with
vagrant box remove <box-name> - Removed vagrant project files (removed .vagrant from project directory)
- Cleared contents for virtual box (For Linux it was
~/.config/Virtualbox/For windows it was~/Library/Virtualbox) - Tried importing the .ova file manually with the virtualbox GUI.
Please Help. I have also read this could be due to not enough room on the disk or in memory but I have over 2 free Terabytes of storage and 37 GB of unused ram when I am hitting this error so I feel that can’t be reason.
