VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) with meanjs and vagrant

Question

I am trying to run mean.js project based on vagrant , but I get the following error with the vagrant up command on ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit.

        There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
        for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

        Command: ["startvm", "d660b7d6-06a3-49bc-8b90-cbad92632c11", "--type", "headless"]

        Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'pets_default_1473142645576_38190' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
        VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine
