Well but why using Vagrant?
Vagrant is great to create VMS for automatic testing, but if you want to 
create your own
VM with all your things that you need I don't see how it can help, just 
install a normal
Ubuntu/whatever on Virtualbox and you're fine..

And another possible advice is to always copy the errors you get, also 
because most of the times
you can get the answer you want simply by a quick google search ;)
