[jkugler]

Well, that's a fun issue. Ubuntu 20.04, Packer 1.8.1

This command worked:

packer build -only=qemu packer_templates/ubuntu/ubuntu-22.04-amd64.json

I don't have the bento tool installed, so didn't use that.

[ashiqueps]

Not sure whether I am doing any mistakes while building the box, but I got the same error on an Ubuntu machine as well.

Same issue and error message occurs when building 20.04, from a 22.10 host.

host os: Ubuntu 22.10 Packer: 1.6.6 (from default repositories) qemu: 7.0.0 (Debian 1:7.0+dfsg-7ubuntu2 kernel: 5.19.0-23-generic ssh: OpenSSH_9.0p1 Ubuntu-1ubuntu7, OpenSSL 3.0.5 5 Jul 2022 kvm module: kvm_intel

However, I also tried fedora-36 and it built successfully! PACKER_LOG=1 packer build -only=qemu fedora-36-x86_64.json

Please test with the latest version of bento packer code. You may have to add -var "qemu_accelerator=hvf" to the command if running on macos.

[Stromweld]

This has been tested and is working with the latest version of macos, qemu, packer, and bento code. closing this as complete. Feel free to reopen or submit a new issue if you find the issue still persists.
