This issue has is already described here: Vagrant Default: Warning: Connection reset. Retrying. However, it was supposed to be fixed in vagrant 1.9.5 and I'm using vagrant 2.2.7.
To simplify, I'm just installing vagrant 2.27 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and try to run it with the following Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
end
Here is what happens:
nicolas@BEL20:~/ansible$ vagrant up

...
So the VM doesn't boot, however, I'm able to ssh to the localhost. Adding the following line to the configuration:
config.ssh.password = "vagrant"
everything works as expected:

But I don't want to authenticate by login/password. What might be going up here ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards,
