Thanks for this. This is the only work-around that's worked for me.

@j883376 massive thanks from me too! This got me up and running on Linux 4.9.6-1-ARCH.

On the current Archlinux snapshot this guide fails with a marshalling error. [1]

Kernel: 4.11.3-1-ARCH x86_64 (64 bit)
Distro: Arch Linux

pacman -Q|grep vagrant
vagrant 1.9.5-1
vagrant-substrate-605.0566498 ( as pulled from an update with pacman -Syu )
vagrant-substrate 599.d7cedfe-2 (after downgrade)

The fix [2] is to downgrade the vagrant-substrate package before running the steps in this gist.

• [2] https://serverfault.com/questions/852501/install-vagrant-plugin-on-archlinux

Downgrading vagrant-substrate

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages
• since I had the previous pkg in my pacman cache all I had to do was

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/vagrant-substrate-599.d7cedfe-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

@stefancocora Thank you!

For those of you who don't have vagrant-substrate in pacman cache:

curl -o vagrant-substrate-599.d7cedfe-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/v/vagrant-substrate/vagrant-substrate-599.d7cedfe-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz && sudo pacman -U vagrant-substrate-599.d7cedfe-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

As of the package updates released a couple of days ago, the Ruby version has changed to 2.3.4. I've updated the Gist to point to the new directory to install ruby-libvirt to this directory. This fixes the following error after you've upgraded your packages.

/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/fog-libvirt-0.3.0/lib/fog/libvirt/requests/compute/list_domains.rb:76:in `domain_to_attributes': undefined method `active?' for #<Libvirt::Domain:0x00560c6c4108d8> (NoMethodError)

If you have added vagrant-substrate to your IgnorePkg list, remove it from the list and upgrade all Vagrant related packages, then rerun the latest version of this script.

Thanks! I had to run this two times since I didn't have ruby-libvirt gem installed, but it worked in the end.

Thanks ;)

As of the vagrant-2.0.1-1, this is no longer needed. I was able to just to a vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt and have it just work. 😄

Can confirm what @kshlm is saying.
For vagrant >= 2.0.1-1 the vagrant package replaces the vagrant-substrate, so vagrant-substrate isn't used anymore.
