On Ubuntu 16.04.01
Using vagrant 1.8.1 and virtualbox 5.1.12.
I have already set
VBOX_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/bin/virtualbox
VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/bin/virtualbox
Getting the following error:
$ vagrant up
No usable default provider could be found for your system.
Vagrant relies on interactions with 3rd party systems, known as
"providers", to provide Vagrant with resources to run development
environments. Examples are VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V.
The easiest solution to this message is to install VirtualBox, which
is available for free on all major platforms.
If you believe you already have a provider available, make sure it
is properly installed and configured. You can see more details about
why a particular provider isn't working by forcing usage with
`vagrant up --provider=PROVIDER`, which should give you a more specific
error message for that particular provider.
as also this one:
$ vagrant up --provider=VIRTUALBOX
The provider 'VIRTUALBOX' could not be found, but was requested to
back the machine 'default'. Please use a provider that exists.
Any suggestions?

There seems to be a compatibility issue with the particular versions of vagrant and virtualbox.
A workaround seems to be the following:
A.
cd /usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver
edit meta.rb and add
"5.1" => Version_5_1
under the line: "5.0" => Version_5_0, (should be around line 63)
B.
cd /usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/
edit plugin.rb and add
autoload :Version_5_1, File.expand_path("../driver/version_5_1", __FILE__)
under the line: autoload :Version_5_0, File.expand_path("../driver/version_5_0", __FILE__) (should be around line 58)
C.
cd /usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver
create a file named version_5_1.rb with these contents.
Hopefully this tackles the problem.
