I have installed the latest release from Ubuntu 16.04.

I installed VirtualBox like that:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms

and I downloaded the latest release from Vagrant and installed it like that:

sudo dpkg -i vagrant_2.0.1_x86_64.deb

Then I installed homestead following these instructions

vagrant box add laravel/homestead 

git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git ~/Homestead

cd ~/Homestead

git checkout v7.0.1

bash init.sh

I removed the ssh key line from the Homestead.yaml file.

If I tried to start vagrant with

vagrant up --debug

then my PC freezes on the Booting VM line.

Here is a screen-shot that I took with my camera:

I have no idea why this is not working. I installed Ubuntu 2 times and repeated all these steps. Always producing the same error. What is causing this issue?
