Ubuntu 22.04 bento virtual box build fails when curtin errors out (despite netplan fix)

[agafonoo]

Version

ubuntu-22.04-x86_64

Environment

The host OS is Ubuntu also.

Scenario

I am using Bento to build an Ubuntu 22.04 box with virtualbox as a provider.

Steps to Reproduce

bento build --only virtualbox-iso.vm --gui os_pkrvars/ubuntu/ubuntu-22.04-x86_64.pkrvars.hcl

Expected Result

The build should finish normally.

Actual Result

Instead, I get the following curtin error:

I already fixed my user-data file with the netplan fix, so that's not the issue:

what version of packer and virtualbox are you running? Currently this is building fine on github hosted runners wich is running ubuntu 22.04 and latest packer/virtualbox versions https://github.com/chef/bento/actions/runs/8622371120/job/23633406501

[agafonoo]

I have Packer v1.10.2 and VirtualBox version 7.0.12 r159484. Let me upgrade to 7.0.14 and see what happens.

After upgrade to VirtualBox version 7.0.14, confirmed that I am getting the same error.

I had this same issue in building for qemu.

I edited packer_templates/http/ubuntu/user-data and replaced the first late-commands that has the if statement in it and replaced it with a previous version of this command:

- 'sed -i "s/dhcp4: true/&\n      dhcp-identifier: mac/" /target/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml'

I get past the initial netplan provisioning, but some networking features don't work post reboot and the provision fails as the VM can't resolve DNS for raw.githubusercontent.com

EDIT:

Got it working in the end by removing the netplan fix instead, image built without issues in the end and also worked without issues after importing it into vagrant, provisioning the VM and using it as normal.

Confirming that removing

    - |
      if [ -f /target/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml ]; then
        'sed -i "s/dhcp4: true/&\n      dhcp-identifier: mac/" /target/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml'
      fi

from packer_templates/http/ubuntu/user-data allows the image to be built successfully. Tested with Vagrant and the VM boots and runs as expected.

Tested on Packer 1.9.4 Parallels Version 19.3.1 (54941)

unfortunately removing that line causes other issues for bringing up multiple ubuntu boxes and them getting the same IP address. This netplan line is supposed to fix that.
