I've been maintaining a popular 16.04 box for VMware and VirtualBox, and it hasn't been easy: https://github.com/geerlingguy/packer-ubuntu-1604 https://github.com/geerlingguy/packer-ubuntu-1604
I finally have it stable on VirtualBox (5.0 or 5.1.x), but now am having issues with VMware 8.5, go figure. The boxes published on Atlas are all stable and working with any recent version of VirtualBox or VMware Fusion, though: https://vagrantcloud.com/geerlingguy/boxes/ubuntu1604 https://vagrantcloud.com/geerlingguy/boxes/ubuntu1604
- herge 10y agoI was about to say, the geerlingguy boxes are the only ones that work for me. Thanks for all the work!
- geerlingguy 10y agoSure thing! I'm actually uploading a new box based on 5.1.8 today. Should be available in Atlas soon!
- kar1181 10y agoAnd thank you massively for that work!
- michaelcampbell 10y agoWhat have your biggest issues been?
- geerlingguy 10y agoNetworking at first, then open VM tools integration, and now something with VMware Fusion 8.5... still trying to figure out what's going wrong this time :/ The CentOS 6 and 7 boxes I maintain have been quite stable forever; each Ubuntu release seems to carry some lurking demons that pop up in random Packer, Ubuntu, Vagrant, VirtualBox or VMware updates.
- michaelcampbell 10y ago<nod> I ask because I have a bevy of 14.04LTS installs (bare metal), and have never had any issues running same in VBox. 16.x and its systemd move has left me quite uninspired, so wondered if anything was due to that. Thanks
