Investigating the same problem, I noticed it flashed something on the screen really quickly (a single frame) before returning to the language selection screen. I captured the video output in VirtualBox and it just says the following:
Loading bootlogo...
Initializing gfx code...
Almost entirely worthless, but hopefully this saves someone the time of having to step through the video frame by frame.
FYI: I'm running into the same thing and opened a bug against the installer in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1505839
This is pretty ugly, but I've managed to work around this for now by doing:
"<enter><wait><f6><esc><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
I can confirm that @andrewsomething's workaround worked fine for me :)
am new to packer, apologies
how is the workaround used?
I tried placing the "
"boot_command": [
"<enter><wait><f6><esc><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
"<bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
"<bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
"<bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
"/install/vmlinuz auto",
See https://github.com/chef/bento/pull/483/files for a working example.
It builds now https://github.com/boxcutter/ubuntu/commit/f01883469354db1e7ed92b9b96741b4d29d1b988 - published out to atlas as well.
thanks
no vmware provider?
ubuntu1510 does not build, presumably due to changes in the installer. I managed to get past the language selection by changing
But more is needed. When the boot commands are entered, the installer gets stuck again on language selection. Perhaps a boot commandline option to set the language is needed?
