sergiojd: The problem I have reported happens using Packer to create VirtualBox .ova images of Ubuntu Server guests. As I have said, everything works OK using the Ubuntu Server 20.04 iso (released in 2020.04), but fails with the 20.04.1, 20.04.2, 20.04.3 or 20.04.4 isos. I would say that something has changed in Ubuntu after 20.04.
seth: During the creation of the VM, Packer uses a NAT network, so I would say I can not ping the machine. The VM is created OK, I can login into the machine, but as Packer can not connect with SSH, the VM is destroyed some minutes later when Packer cancels the build. Virtualbox defines port forwarding (127.0.0.1:xxxx) and I have tried to connect the guest using WinSCP or Putty, but both can't connect neither. I send attached the log file created by VirtualBox. ** Attachment added: "packer-1-2-ubuntu-20-04-4-server-2022-03-16-10-16-50.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1964642/+attachment/5569531/+files/packer-1-2-ubuntu-20-04-4-server-2022-03-16-10-16-50.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964642 Title: Packer virtualbox ssh can't connect to unattended Ubuntu 20.04.1/2/3/4 but can connect to Ubuntu 20.4 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Two years ago I was able to create a Virtualbox Ubuntu 20.04 guest in a Windows 10 host with Packer 1.5.6, using an unattended installation. The Packer command was: "boot_command": [ "<enter><enter><f6><esc><wait> ", "autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/", "<enter>" ], The user-data file was: #cloud-config autoinstall: version: 1 identity: realname: mclibre hostname: ubuntu password: '$6$mclibre$YiuRPSZM3ZXVe4UyIqv1dvy9rUjf5/LsGCkDyaex.WN45wzVTuRmW5QLuctuicGAFZIO2M3QR8NLdtQYatKTn1' username: mclibre locale: es_ES.UTF-8 keyboard: layout: es network: network: version: 2 ethernets: ens33: {dhcp4: true, dhcp-identifier: mac} ssh: install-server: true late-commands: - sed -i 's/^#*\(send dhcp-client-identifier\).*$/\1 = hardware;/' /target/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf - 'sed -i "s/dhcp4: true/&\n dhcp-identifier: mac/" /target/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml' Now, I have tried to create a Virtualbox Ubuntu 20.04.4/.3/.2/.1 guest using packer 1.5.6 but Packer can't create the image because once the installation is done, after rebooting the SSH server does not answer (the packer log error says: SSH handshake err: Timeout during SSH handshake). I have tried with the last version of Packer, Packer 1.8.0, and the result is the same. I can create a Ubuntu Server 20.4 image but not a Ubuntu Server 20.4.1, .2, .3 or .4 image. I can provide as much aditional information as you want.
