Welcome to emergency mode!After logging in,type "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode

[guestart]

Hello,Mr bamcgill.
I have a problem about executing script file ‘start.sh' after installing '==> virtualbox-iso: Pausing 3m20s before the next provisioner...
==> virtualbox-iso: Provisioning with shell script: /tmp/packer-shell494569482' in Virtual Box 5.1.10 of my linux server 'CentOS 6.6 x86_64',then show info such as 'Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode. (or type Control-D to continue): ',i press ^D,next show info such as ' Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)',and how to solve it ?
Thanks!
Best Regards

Hi Quanwen Zhao,

I will give some information for general startup issues.
Please send in the full output of start.sh

One issue is if a network proxy is required (initial .iso file to virtual hard drive) it needs to be specified (or move the build to where a proxy is not required).

Another issue could be 10 seconds is not enough time to wait to give the boot instructions.
see Relevant startup settings.

Regards,
Turloch

1/It takes a while to go from iso to disk before any database things are added (20mins?)

2/Network proxy:
bash start.sh "http://and_proxy_as_first_arg_if_wanted" export
"http://and_proxy_as_first_arg_if_wanted" is optional
export - it you want exported to .ova file.

3/Relavent Startup Settings that may cause issues:
packerConfig.json: (10 seconds might not be enough on a slower machine - put in multiple )
"boot_command": [
"",
...
(uses 4Gb and 2cpu for the VM)
"vboxmanage": [
[ "modifyvm", "{{.Name}}", "--memory", "4096" ],
[ "modifyvm", "{{.Name}}", "--cpus", "2" ],

Initial iso to virtual hard disk is controlled by:
upload/buildTimeConfig.cfg

Needs more than 60Gb free disk space - compressed output alone is 7.2 GB.

4/Sample output up until bash/shell scripts

• packer build -var iso_downloaded=y -var oracle_database_downloaded=y -var pro
  xy= -var skip_export=false packerConfig.json

"LTwait10GTLTwait10GT" -> wait 2x wait 10 ie wait 20. (Unfortunately you cannot put wait30, there is a wait 10, wait5 and a wait1 (in packer)).
There may be a timeout to go to the graphical installer.
wait10 works on intel i7 macbook pro with ssd.

I do not see your enclosure I assume your issue is around here in the output to the packer command:
^[[1;32m==> virtualbox-iso: Waiting 10s for boot...
^[[0m ^[[1;32m==> virtualbox-iso: Typing the boot command...
^[[0m ^[[1;32m==> virtualbox-iso: Typing the boot command...
^[[0m ^[[1;32m==> virtualbox-iso: Waiting for SSH to become available...
^[[0m ^[[1;32m==> virtualbox-iso: Connected to SSH!^[[0m

Note you can see the boot command being typed in if you watch
the virtualbox graphical screen output,
should help you figure out what a suitable timeout is on your machine,
too small a wait - linux guest is not ready, too long a timeout, linux guest may go to graphical install or pick a default option.

"LTwait10GT", The greater than less than signs messed to the formatting GT greater than, LT less than

My enclosure is in email that I sent to you,actually i think about 'default wait 10s' that step is Ok,(just you say,only 1,5 and 10s in packer),because this comment area don't upload my error snapshot!

Hi Quanwen Zhao,
"mv for optional"
is OK that is for optional additional files.
It also means you have reached 'bash/shell' side - maybe first reboot failed.
/u01 is second virtual disk set up by:
(cut and paste may destroy formatting: see file: uploads/1updateLinux_inner.sh )

function make_disks {
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sdb1
mkdir /u01
chmod 777 /u01
mount -t xfs /dev/sdb1 /u01
chmod 755 /u01
chown oracle /u01
ed -s /etc/fstab <<EOF
$a
/dev/sdb1 /u01 xfs defaults 0 0
.
w
EOF
systemctl enable gdm.service
systemctl set-default graphical.target
}

If in
1updateLinux.sh
Formatting causes an issue with underscores
(/tmp/1/1updateLinux_inner.sh "$@" 2>&1) | tee -a ~oracle/log/thestdoutlog_basename $0$$ | egrep '^PROGRESS'
do
(bash -x /tmp/1/1updateLinux_inner.sh "$@" 2>&1) | tee -a ~oracle/log/thestdoutlogbasename $0_$$
you should get lots of feedback to the start.sh output changes being bash -x and remove the "| egrep '^PROGRESS'"
(bash -x echo out commands during execution, "| egrep '^PROGRESS'" remove the code to show only summary commands starting with "PROGRESS")

I am still thinking it might be a proxy setting issue (which I often hit myself) (which causes problems here as 'mkfs.xfs' not updated during the build).

You can send me email with large .txt attachments to turloch.otierney@oracle.com

Turloch
