I am running packer for building Centos 8 VM. After it install package, lang, localtion. I am stuck in this stage:
I will attack files below, and paste code here in case you don't want to open files. I'm sorry, it's quite long. I don't know how to shorten it.
I have no clue for this case. I didn't get error response or any. If you have any idea or solution. Please let me know.
Thank you so much.
This is packer files
