VirtualBox crashes when running "npm install" -> duplicate of #11649

Description
I use vagrant provisioning for VirtualBox but there seems to be an issue with "npm" (nodejs). This problem exists only on my Windows 7 host, on Mac OS X this works fine!
I've disabled vagrant provisioning and just used vagrant for setup with:
vagrant up --no-provisioning
After that, I conntected to the vm using
vagrant ssh
After this, i ran
npm -g install bower
This crashed the VM. But it is not important which package I install.
npm install
crashes regardless of the package I'm trying to install.
So, here are some logfiles!
VBox.log: https://gist.github.com/arekkas/8319356
npm-debug.log: https://gist.github.com/arekkas/8319277
vagrant.log: https://gist.github.com/arekkas/8318589
The host is Windows 7 64 Bit, the Guest is Ubuntu precise 32Bit.
My gist config is:
# -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : # Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing! VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| config.vm.box = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box" config.vm.box = "precise32" config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "bootstrap.sh" config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 4567, guest: 80 config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 3456, guest: 3306 config.vm.synced_folder "../", "/var/www", :owner => "www-data", :group => "www-data", type: "nfs" end
I'd be happy to help with this issue as best as I can, because we really need the setup for our develop environment.

Oh sorry, of course I meant to write: "My vagrant config is" instead of "My gist config is".
comment:3 by , 11 years ago
This problem also does not seem to be related to
vagrant ssh
because when I start the VM from the VirtualBox GUI (-> using the VM viewer), npm crashes the VM as well.

Oh sorry, nevermind, didn't find the link before because of all the Vagrant noise. Next time please use the 'Attach File' button.

So as I understood from your description, the VM crashes if you execute 'npm install' is that correct? Or is only a guest application crashing? Also, you say that you can reproduce the problem only when running your guest on a Windows host but not when running on a Mac OS X host. Is there any difference in the VM configuration between these two hosts? Please also attach the VBox.log file of such a VM session running on Mac OS X.
comment:7 by , 11 years ago
No, the whole VM crashes when running 'npm install'! Sometimes I get a Windows crash message regarding "VBoxHeadless.exe" (mostly when running 'vagrant up').
The setup *should* be the same, because both VMs are configured through the vagrant config posted above. I will attach the log for the Mac OS VM soon.

On which drive are you performing 'vagrant up', is this a VirtualBox shared folder?
comment:10 by , 11 years ago
Yes, the folder from which 'vagrant up' is run is a VirtualBox shared folder. In fact, the folder above is also shared:
Vagrant file: D:\workspace\athene2\vagrant\vagrantfile Shared folder: D:\workspace\athene2 -> /var/www

Sorry, I should have included the bootstrap.sh script as well for easier reproduction: https://gist.github.com/arekkas/8320463

I just ran 'npm install -g bower' on a custom setup VM (running Debian 7.2 64bit) using this guide for nodejs installation ( http://ariejan.net/2011/10/24/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-debian/ ) and everything worked fine. The VirtualBox log is: https://gist.github.com/arekkas/8320592

You might want to try upgrading the VBox Guest Additions. The current version you are using with your Windows/Mac OS X host is 4.2.0 which is quite old. Better use 4.3.6. This might affect the problem as the Guest Additions are required for shared folder support.
comment:14 by , 11 years ago
Ok, I've updated the guest additions - still no luck, the vm crashed again.
According to the VBox.log they've been updated so I hope that this wasn't caused by me:
00:00:06.447223 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.3.6 r91406 '4.3.6'
If you want to see the full log please let me know

I'm really running out of ideas here. I've now tried a different box ( http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/debian-70rc1-x64-vbox4210.box ) but that didn't change anything.
comment:16 by , 11 years ago
So I've now created a custom debian box, where I installed some modules globally. While everything worked fine here, npm crashed VirtualBox again as soon as I added that VM as a box to vagrant and ran 'vagrant up'.
comment:17 by , 11 years ago
It's not associated with shared folders - as I expected. I disabled all shared folders and the VM still crashes when doing 'npm install'.
comment:18 by , 11 years ago
Found it, it is related to the network type! It seems to be related to: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11649
I disabled 'NAT Networking' and enabled 'Network bridge' instead - now I can install everything without a problem.
(still doesn't work through vagrant, because it seems that vagrant does require NAT)
