1. Uncomment vb.gui=true in the vagrantfile and log in from there. solves a lot of problems, can also sudo reboot from there.
2. To unlock 'guru meditation' mode: navigate to the virtualbox folder and: VBoxManage controlvm <vm> poweroff (notice this the virtualbox full vm name and not the vagrant name)
3. Upgrade to virtualbox 4.16 ,solves 4.14 problems with vagrant 1.2.2
4. Add more memory to the virtualbox (not more than the host machine has)
5. check the bios setting allowing virtualization is enabled
