I can be useful to gain some insight on a system, and is also required for showing frequencies in iStat Menus. Intel Power Gadget is a neat tiny tool (Intel-made) that shows statistics about an Intel CPU and GPU. Okay, It must be me, it must be something I installed since the last time I used the VM. To my surprise, I am greeted with a kernel panic inside the VM. I try again, make sure the network works, and end up re-provisioning the VM. I start my vagrant VM, and to my surprise Vagrant can’t connect to it via SSH. It had to be my fault.įast-forward to a few mornings later. I was super annoyed about all the time I wasted, and even more frustrated because I couldn’t find the root of the problem. I set up the dev environment again and… everything was working. To make sure, I went ahead and reinstalled macOS Mojave. We ended thinking it had to be a hardware issue and I was going to replace my Macbook. The most infuriating thing being errors were completely uncorrelated and inconsistent, making it impossible to single out any source of problem (disk? network?).

I tried multiple versions of VirtualBox and different Vagrant boxes (and much more, but it’s besides the point). I spent hours trying to figure out why all of this was happening.
