Public bug reported: When booting a virtual machine on vSphere there is an error that guest- customizations can not be run.
I was using: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS release deployed to a template using the ova file. I ran into this problem, when attempting to boot a machine using ansible and ran into this VMWare bug: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/59687 To summarize: the vmware tools attempt to use dbus before it's available and guest customization fails, which leads to the network adapters of the VM not being attached. It seems all that is missing to make this work is to add the missing: After=dbus.service dependency to the systemd-service for open-vm-tools.service. Once this is added the guest customizations can be used and after booting the network adapters will be attached successfully. ** Affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1921116 Title: Booting on vSphere fails the cloud-init guest customization due to missing dbus.service dependency To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1921116/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
