Which one: dist-upgrade or upgrade?

Answer in AskUbuntu

Personal note: Next time I try eOS, use apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade

Which version of VirtualBox to use?

I believe everytime I've used v4.3.30, I haven't been able to use Vagrant as usual. Better try earlier versions.

In eOS, using mentioned VBox version gave me error

There was on error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

which has many solutions for MacOS but couldn't find anything for elementary os. link

For Elementary OS(Ubuntu) there's the command sudo modprobe vboxnetadp but when I issued it in console, it was too late and didn't help(or didn't help at all).
