Hello can you please provide a version for hyper-v

packer build fails because iso_checksum_type does not exist anymore. you can remove iso_checksum_type as packer recognizes the type automatically. tested with latest version 1.6.2.

Add configuration for Debian 11 Bullseye.

I already have this up and running and can provide a MR, but previous reported issues and pull requests needs to be merged first.

Default build directory is output-BUILDNAME. Starting to concurrent builds results in an error message:
Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored after 831 milliseconds 807 microseconds: Output directory exists: output-virtualbox-iso.

I can provide a MR to address this, but previous reported issues and pull requests needs to be merged first.

Hi, I'm trying to run with "packer build -only=vmware-iso debian10.json" but I get this error:

packer build -only=vmware-iso debian10.json
vmware-iso: output will be in this color.

I have vmware workstation installed, tried running from both Windows10 / Debian10 but same error, works with virtualbox though.

Ethernet link does not come up after first boot imported OVF in VirtualBox.

@eaksel In the mean time I found the root cause and can provide a MR, but Issues #1 and #2 needs to be merged first, otherwise I'll go ahead with my own project. Thanks.

Grub boot menu is started by default with a timeout value of 5 seconds. This can be changed to value 0 and is useful to speed-up the boot process for running automated tests. Probably nobody uses Grub boot menu in a VM.

scripts/setup.yml

  - name: Disable quiet boot mode and set timeout
    lineinfile:
      path: /etc/default/grub
      regexp: "{{ item.regexp }}"
      line: "{{ item.line }}"
      state: present
    with_items:
      - {regexp: 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"', line: 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""'}
      - {regexp: 'GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"', line: 'GRUB_TIMEOUT="0"'}

@eaksel Do you like this idea? Do you want me to create a PR?

PS: Sorry to bother you with PR's, this is a very useful project. :-)

@eaksel Thanks for creating this project. I've successfully built a Debian 10.10.0-amd64 VirtualBox VM, but after importing the OVF it starts the UEFI shell:

Latest VirtualBox version on Ubuntu 21.04: 6.1.26 r145957.

Shell> fs0:
FS0:\> dir
ls: File Not Found - 'FS0:\'

Do you have a suggestion how to automatically start the OS after power-on? Thanks!

VirtualBox guest shows:

No further output.

Any suggestion how to proceed?
