attempt to fix some intermittent build failures #48

Closed BenGardiner closed 2 years ago

BenGardiner commented 2 years ago

The other build failures I've experienced lately are

dpkg lock held . I'm assuming it is by cloud-init which isn't quite done when init-base.sh runs
hash sum mismatches. I'm assuming it is because of overload of the default apt mirror

question to you @bastibl : would you be ok with headless=true in base.json? it is the way I run all the builds here (with uncomitted changes)

Thanks! I'm happy to change to headless. I was already think about it and maybe adding a note regarding debug/development in the Readme. I guess for debugging one might disable headless and maybe run the packer build with -on-error=ask. Do you know any other tricks?

Great!

the only other trick (barely) is to connect to the headless VM with RDP to see what's going on...
