@chissg Chris, thank you

@srbala Has the box been regenerated with the tweaked GUI settings in d528861? As of an hour ago I'm still needing v.gui = true to get a working VM.

srbala commented 1 year ago

@chissg I am able to build the box in headless mode. But, to run the box it's expecting both settings v.gui = true and v.vmx["ethernet0.virtualdev"] = "vmxnet3". I am not sure if it is a bug with the packer-plugin or VMWare SDK.

Do you have support with VMWare, maybe they can advise.

I was encouraged by your change https://github.com/AlmaLinux/cloud-images/commit/d5288617240e3d132a7cb8a9107da01b39e98af5#diff-1d0d44efc45d605f3b8c3bd1f132aea1b189749300b324c5a6b8f01eed552473R170, is all. A brief search online suggests the problem might be related to more recent guest kernels, but beyond that I have nothing.

Some of the Apple M1 kernel support issues within VMWare and parallel tools and vagrant boxes have been there for months
