Description
While using packer tool to automate creation of VM images I face the following errors:
==> virtualbox-iso: Typing the boot command... ==> virtualbox-iso: Error sending boot command: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage: error: Could not send all scan codes to the virtual keyboard (VERR_PDM_NO_QUEUE_ITEMS) ==> virtualbox-iso: VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component KeyboardWrap, interface IKeyboard, callee nsISupports ==> virtualbox-iso: VBoxManage: error: Context: "PutScancodes(ComSafeArrayAsInParam(saScancodes), &codesStored)" at line 345 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp ==> virtualbox-iso: Unregistering and deleting virtual machine... ==> virtualbox-iso: Error deleting virtual machine: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage: error: Cannot unregister the machine 'foo' while it is locked ==> virtualbox-iso: VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports ==> virtualbox-iso: VBoxManage: error: Context: "Unregister(CleanupMode_DetachAllReturnHardDisksOnly, ComSafeArrayAsOutParam(aMedia))" at line 156 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp ==> virtualbox-iso: Deleting output directory... Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored: Error sending boot command: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage: error: Could not send all scan codes to the virtual keyboard (VERR_PDM_NO_QUEUE_ITEMS) VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component KeyboardWrap, interface IKeyboard, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "PutScancodes(ComSafeArrayAsInParam(saScancodes), &codesStored)" at line 345 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp
After this happens VM enters "Guru Meditation" state.
I searched for more information about the error got and found https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/4309 referring to https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/64906/vbox that seems to be some attempt to fix this (?). Anyway, https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/64906/vbox looks not to be included in VirtualBox-5.1-5.1.22_115126_el7-1.x86_64 RPM I am using in my Centos 7.3 (judging by the lack of VboxManage keyboardputstring/keyboardputfile API added in this changeset).
Steps to reproduce: packer build -var vm_name=foo -var no_gui=true centos-vbox.json Packer version 1.0.0
Mapping from packer API to VBoxManage calls can be seen in attached packer debug log. ISO image used is just a minimal CentOs 7.3 image. kickstart file should not be relevant for this bug. The bug is not deterministic, it happens once per ~4 executions.
