@MBalazs90 You may try like me:

  • According to some search and try, as code shown in above post, my system (windows 8 zh-cn) use a encoding compatible with GB18030.
  • VirtualBox 6 is in using, which inherited the interface from virtualbox/driver/version_5_0.rb.
  • read_bridged_interfaces() handles the captured output of VBoxManage.exe call. which converted to UTF-8 automatically.

so its clear that a encoding conversion is needed (original code):

            block.split("\n").each do |line|
              if line =~ /^Name:\s+(.+?)$/
                info[:name] = $1.to_s
                info[:name] = info[:name].encode('GB18030')  # add this line is enough
              elsif line =~ /^IPAddress:\s+(.+?)$/

You may find the correct encoding and the corresponding provider code for your environment.

almost the same error, slightly different versions.

VirtualBox version

  • 5.2.16-123759
  • 6.0.0-127566

the same error. install new version after completely removing old version.

Vagrant version

first encounter on 1.9.3, update to 2.2.2 and confirmed with that fix in #8967, do NOT solve it. (not completely uninstalled)

Host operating system

Windows 8.1 (zh-cn)

did not try with another version / machine, since some other guest machines in use on it.

Guest operating system

debian stretch64

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "debian/contrib-stretch64"
  config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "192.168.0.80"
  # or
  # config.vm.network "public_network"
  # produce the same error
end

Debug output

full log here, and a short version:

Expected behavior

the proper interface name according to VirtualBox GUI should be Dell 无线 1704 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)

Actual behavior

we get Dell 鏃犵嚎 1704 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)

No responsed for some days, after upgrading to 2.2.3, this issue persists.
So I have manually fix it in my environment. NOT a portable way.

I convert the encoding of interface name in virtualbox/driver/version_5_0.rb:read_bridged_interfaces() in hardcode.

            block.split("\n").each do |line|
              if line =~ /^Name:\s+(.+?)$/
                info[:name] = $1.to_s
                # encoding = "windows-#{chcp.scan(/\d+$/)}"  # adviced by google, but error: no chcp
                # encoding = Encoding.default_external  # actrually UTF-8
                encoding = 'GB18030'  # now work for my Windows 8 (zh-cn)
                # encoding = 'cp936'  # error: no converter
                # encoding = 'Unicode'  # error: no converter
                @logger.debug("==> name string:")
                @logger.debug("      was #{info[:name].encoding}: #{info[:name].inspect}")
                @logger.debug("      as #{encoding}: #{info[:name].encode(encoding).inspect}")
                info[:name] = info[:name].encode(encoding)
              elsif line =~ /^IPAddress:\s+(.+?)$/

then I got VBoxManage call:

 INFO subprocess: Starting process: ["C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage.exe", "modifyvm", "b93f9b90-a1de-41c0-8e01-45b807582fbd", "--nic1", "nat", "--nic2", "bridged", "--bridgeadapter2", "Dell \x{CEDE}\x{CFDF} 1704 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)", "--cableconnected2", "on"]

It's clearly that the internal encoding should be unified, which seems to be UTF-8 for now. So I suspect the proper way is to determine the encoding OS is using and convert arguments just before calling execute(). And this idea was touched in commit 7b8ab87 by @chrisroberts .

As above code shown, the Encoding.default_external is UTF-8, should not be used directly. A more robust way to query encoding is necessary.

Thanks for your great work.

P.S. this is my first ruby code, apologize for lacking knowledge ahead. :nerd_face:

so seems like this issue still persist

@leaveye How can I fix it locally? Can you explain it?

I'm getting the same issue with vagrant 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 on Windows 10.
As soon as I'm adding a bridged interface, and doing a vagrant up I'm getting this error message: 

Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: Nonexistent host networking interface, name '' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole

Also using a NAT interface is working properly, but this not what I need for my test environment.

I'm also getting this issue in 2.2.7.

Any update on this ?

I've got issue with French name :

'Carte réseau Broadcom 802.11n'

becomes

VBoxManage.exe: error: Nonexistent host networking interface, name 'Carte rÚseau Broadcom 802.11n'
