"Failed to set time zone: Invalid or not installed time zone 'Zulu'"

It seems like it is not a valid default value.

fatal: [mario_server]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["timedatectl", "set-timezone", "Zulu"], "delta": "0:00:00.032956", "end": "2024-06-26 00:11:34.900010", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2024-06-26 00:11:34.867054", "stderr": "Failed to set time zone: Invalid or not installed time zone 'Zulu'", "stderr_lines": ["Failed to set time zone: Invalid or not installed time zone 'Zulu'"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

FYI, it takes about 18 mins for me to reach and fail at this step. I am running on macOS with a VM.

Good catch! Thank you. Yes, that should be Etc/Zulu. I'll fix and push.

That feels like a really long time. Does the VM have sufficient compute, memory, and disk allocated?

I am on a M2 Mac Mini and I have 2 cores and 4GB for the VM. Sounds like should be enough for getting started?

I can confirm that, after I realize this https://github.com/meonkeys/shb/issues/4#issuecomment-2190450282 I just start from fresh VM and it can complete within like 6 minutes.

Sounds like plenty of resources, yep. I'm wondering if that slowdown is an architecture mismatch? M2 uses the arm instruction set, so we should make sure you're all matched up there. Again, I'm not an expert here, just guessing:

• try using an ARM build of 24.04 server from https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm
• make sure the VM is configured for ARM

You may have to reinstall the OS but it will be worth it if it gets your 6-18min provision down to 5-15 sec.

Yep on M2 we have to use ARM build of Ubuntu server or VMWare won't install it.

I moved the performance issue to #5
