    <p>I just got this working with basically three steps. The advice from <code>askubuntu.com</code> didn't quite work for me, so try this simplified version:</p> <ol> <li>Get a basic Ubuntu image working. You should be able to boot it and <code>vagrant ssh</code>.</li> <li>Next, enable the VirtualBox display, which is off by default. Halt the VM and uncomment these lines in <code>Vagrantfile</code>:<pre> config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb| vb.gui = true end</pre></li> <li>Boot the VM and observe the new display window. Now you just need to install and start <code>xfce4</code>. Use <code>vagrant ssh</code> and:<pre> sudo apt-get install xfce4 sudo startxfce4&amp; </pre></li> </ol> <p>That's it, you should be landed in a <code>xfce4</code> session.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> For a better experience, I recommend these improvements:</p> <ol> <li>Don't start the GUI as root. You really want to stay the <code>vagrant</code> user. To do this you need to permit anyone to start the GUI: <code>sudo vim /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config</code> and edit it to <code>allowed_users=anybody</code>.</li> <li>Next, install the VirtualBox guest tools <strong>before</strong> starting the GUI. This will give you a healthy screen resolution, integrated mouse, etc.<pre> $ sudo apt-get install -y xfce4 virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 $ sudo VBoxClient-all</pre></li> <li>Only now should you start the GUI as the <code>vagrant</code> user, with <code>$ startxfce4&amp;</code>.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Update 2:</strong> Tried this today and the <code>VBoxClient-all</code> script isn't always installed. If it's missing, you can replace with the equivalent:</p> <pre>sudo VBoxClient --clipboard sudo VBoxClient --draganddrop sudo VBoxClient --display sudo VBoxClient --checkhostversion sudo VBoxClient --seamless</pre>
