在等待SSH可用时，packer vmware-iso本地ubuntu构建挂起

Question

Packer version: Packer v1.3.3

Host Platform: MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54)

Hello, I'm trying to build a really simple vmware-iso (local not remote). The build starts, gets through the first couple of steps but then hangs on ==> vmware-iso: Waiting for SSH to become available... until the shh_wait timeout is reached (I've tried several different wait times). If running with headless set to false, the ubuntu provisioning vm shows a screen in which it's setting up the drives and is about to format them. Any ideas what would cause ssh availability to hang even though it looks as though it worked fine in a previous step?

This is what is displayed on the builder VM while waiting for SSH to become available.

您需要在http目录中包含preseed.cfg ，其中包含有关如何安装Ubuntu的安装程序的说明，有关Preseed的更多信息，请参见Preseed Wiki 。
