1 year ago I can replicate that locally on a mac with packer 1.8.3 and virtualbox, I didn't verify vmware
As a workaround, I believe the prebuilt VM should work:
mkdir metasploitable3-workspace
cd metasploitable3-workspace
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploitable3/master/Vagrantfile
MS3_DIFFICULTY=easy vagrant up ub1404I kicked off a fresh vmware build, and it succeeded. I did have to tweak the guest OS though:
diff --git a/packer/templates/pro/ubuntu_1404_pro.json b/packer/templates/pro/ubuntu_1404_pro.json
index ec238a3..8794735 100644

So presumably what you're hitting is a virtualbox regression

1 year ago Ok so i tried to the workaround yes it actually works with vbox and i was able to properly build the image.
I think my workspace mightve been borked as i did try the prebuilt but it was giving me some errors.
Anyhow, the workaround fixed it! Thank you!

The Ubuntu1404 machine is straight up from hell and is just not building as per your instructions.
it boots correctly but after dhcp succeeds the screen goes all pink and then the CLI says waiting for ssh and then nothing happens.
Can you please fix this or just remove the ubuntu1404 option altogether. I've tried building it in multiple environments including ubuntu, WSL, Windows and none of them work.
I understand everyones undying love for windows but why offer ubuntu1404 if its not working at all.
