fixing vagrant up ns_error_failure

Today I installed Vagrant on a freshly installed OS and then when I ran a spun a test box, I came across this error

bug@bug ~/vm % vagrant up                                                                                                                                                                    (env: achieve)

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

Stderr: 0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

I checked around the docs for Manjaro but I din't see this highlighted when you do an installation.

You have to reload virtualbox via CLI:

bug@bug ~/vm % sudo vboxreload
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You are sorted!
