Hi I am trying to use packer for building a Fedora 24 Desktop Vagrant box, but I am running into issues
Context: In our setup we have a lot of windows users which needs a Linux VM for development environment. By development environment I mean GUI/Desktop and installed IDEs etc. I am trying to use Ansible to provision the IDEs etc which should be relatively easy once I have a base box ideally with GUI. However we don't want users to run around installing Ansible on their windows machines, instead we want to use the ansible-local provisioner. However here we run into the step that we need to build our own base image, since I haven't been able to find a good (official) image that a) is close to RHEL including using yum B) has a GUI c) has ansible installed I have tried to use the Bento Boxes for fedora as an example, but when I change the iso used from Server to Workstation I get into problems. The packer script is hanging at the "waiting for SSH". Looking at the GUI in virtualbox I can see it correctly boot up, and enter the KS script location. After that the boot process starts with all the normal term lines, but once the "Gui" opens all I get is a blank (black) screen with a mouse pointer. I have also tried to update the ks script from the bento default to one that I got from manually installing a Fedora 24 but no help there just same error. Am I doing something simple wrong or am I going down a completely wrong path? Would it be better to use the server image as bento does it and just add the ansible package, and possibly cinnamon-desktop?
