Thanks! I will test it out.

[simonoff]

@juliandunn any progress?

[juliandunn]

@simonoff still working on it - tried to build it overnight but it didn't finish before my Caffeine timed out 😦 I will try again today

[juliandunn]

should say x86_64?

[juliandunn]

Were you able to build this in VMWare? My build hangs at the very end at

==> vmware-iso: Gracefully halting virtual machine...

[simonoff]

Hm... same for me for vmware. I'm not tested it because has end trial on vmware fusion. I will try to fix this issue on another laptop.

[simonoff]

@juliandunn Something strange. VMWare stopping faster but packer think what it still running. Does shutdown_command waiting on some return or not?

[juliandunn]

@simonoff Unsure - can you run Packer in debug mode to see what it's polling on?

[simonoff]

@jamescott already did it - https://gist.github.com/simonoff/600b1203663ed1b69625
I checked the VM itself. When calling the shutdown command it's not returning anything. Shutdown fast and you cannot logout from tty for example. May be in this a problem. But in VirtualBox the same working fine...

[juliandunn]

@simonoff Maybe play with an alternate shutdown command? I know you probably copied this one from the SLES definitions but there are a few different ones in there e.g. FreeBSD has this one

[simonoff]

@juliandunn I tried few variants. Like in FreeBSD, calling directly halt, shutdown and poweroff. All the same - VMWare Fustion closed VM window but packer still waiting.

Probably bug in packer.

Can we disable VMWare for a while and release only VirtualBox variant?

[juliandunn]

Actually I was able to build a box on VMWare using this:

Mind applying that and then I can merge this?

[simonoff]

Let me recheck x86 and x86_64 and if all ok then i will push updates.

[simonoff]

@juliandunn I made force push with fix for VMWare and few fixes for whole image. Added rsyslog and enabled it.

[simonoff]

@juliandunn thank you!
