Relative Vagrant and Ruby newb here. I'm trying to enable SSH forwarding from my Windows machine to my Vagrant created Ubuntu VM. My Vagrantfile has some Virtualbox provider specific config:
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.name = guestHostname
v.memory = 8192
v.cpus = 2
v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--vram", "128"]
v.gui = true
end
Works fine by itself. But when I add the config for SSH forwarding:
config.ssh.forward_agent = true
Running 'vagrant up' starts failing with this error message:

Commenting out the provider specific config makes the error go away, and forwarding appears to work. Any ideas on what could be causing the issue?
I can see that you are using vagrant 1.9.4 and this is a known issue with vagrant 1.9.4. I am linking here the github issue associated with this problem. This has been fixed in version 1.9.5 though. So, you could either downgrade to 1.9.3 or upgrade to 1.9.5
