Hi Alvaro, Thank you very much for your help, here are the details you requested.
- What is your host os? My Host OS is ubuntu server 18.04.3 - Do you have VMWare Workstation Installed? I have VMWare Workstation Pro installed - Can you create VM manually ? they boot ok ? I can't create machines using the output from packer /usr/bin/vmrun -T player start output-vmware-iso/ubuntu-18.04.vmx nogui I also tried /usr/bin/vmrun -T ws start output-vmware-iso/ubuntu-18.04.vmx nogui I think that mainly my problem is the vmware workstation installation process, I can't find and non-gui guide to installed so I have done what I think is correct for example sudo ./VMWare-workstation-15-pro.bundle --console --eulas-agreed now to packer - what packer version? 1.5.1 - do you have a template that works? I do, it works on Mac with VMWare Fusion Seems like the link is causing issues, where I can share my config with you? I am using bitbucket I am not sure if I understand what is failing or where. Seems like the portion of the packer build process that is failing is the part that starts the vm with the following command I took it from packer debug log /usr/bin/vmrun -T ws start output-vmware-iso/ubuntu-18.04.vmx nogui Are you just trying to create a VM? I am trying to create a vmware-iso as my final product, using packer vmware-iso builder https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-iso.html Thanks again for your support, I really appreciate it Have a great weekend On Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 8:14:58 PM UTC-5, Marco Mojica wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am super lost on what my problem is and I have few hints that might give > you an idea where I stand right now. > > I have successfully build a packer vmware-iso on Ubuntu 18.04.3 Desktop > version, the trick was open the VMWare Workstation gui after the > installation was completed. > > In the other hand in Ubuntu Server I believe I am having problems with the > installation of VMWare Workstation since I am getting issues with the > libraries and such, I have try many of the link I have found online and > nothing seems to fix it > > here is the PACKER_LOG=1 output > > ==> vmware-iso: Starting HTTP server on port 8870 > 2020/01/17 01:06:04 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Looking for > available port between 5900 and 6000 > 2020/01/17 01:06:04 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Found available > port: 5944 on IP: 127.0.0.1 > 2020/01/17 01:06:04 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Found available VNC > port: 127.0.0.1:5944 > 2020/01/17 01:06:04 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Writing VMX to: > output-vmware-iso/ubuntu-18.04.vmx > ==> vmware-iso: Starting virtual machine... > vmware-iso: view the screen of the VM, connect via VNC with the > password "c9UBiBZ0" to > vmware-iso: vnc://127.0.0.1:5944 > vmware-iso: The VM will be run headless, without a GUI.
