Hi @jazzfog
Thank you for opening an issue. Can you please try bento/ubuntu-16.04? There have been numerous reported issues with the boxes under the "ubuntu" namespace, particularly 16.04. Namespaces do not guarantee canonical boxes! A common misconception is that a namespace like "ubuntu" represents the canonical space for Ubuntu boxes. This is untrue. Namespaces on Atlas behave very similarly to namespaces on GitHub, for example. Just as GitHub's support team is unable to assist with issues in someone's repository, HashiCorp's support team is unable to assist with third-party published boxes.

Thank you, I didn't realize that, Atlas description is confusing then
ubuntu/xenial64
Official Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Daily Build
With image you provided the problem with missing /vagrant directory has gone!

Hi @jazzfog
Atlas is like GitHub - it just hosts private boxes. Just like a user could create a GitHub project and say "official foo", so too can users of Atlas. The "ubuntu" namespace is owned by Canonical (the makers of Ubuntu), but the boxes do not follow the basic guidelines for building boxes. We call this out in the Vagrant documentation, but just like GitHub cannot remove repositories with buggy code, we cannot remove boxes that are non-functional. We merely recommend alternatives.
