Network is unrealiable in generic/ubuntu1804 box

[Wenzel]

Vagrant version

Vagrant 2.2.6

Host operating system

Windows 10 build 1909

Guest operating system

generic/ubuntu1804

Vagrantfile

Please look at the following repository:
https://github.com/Wenzel/vagrant-oswatcher

Provider: Hyper-V

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    config.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu1804"
    config.vm.box_version = "2.0.6"
    config.vm.define "oswatcher"
    # OSWatcher local git repo
    oswatcher_path = "/path/to/oswatcher"

    config.vm.provider "hyper-v" do |hyperv|
        hyperv.vmname = "oswatcher"
        hyperv.cpus = 2
        hyperv.memory = 2048
        # allow nested virtualization
        hyperv.enable_virtualization_extensions = true
    end

    config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant"
    # make oswatcher local path accessible as /vagrant/oswatcher
    config.vm.synced_folder oswatcher_path, "/vagrant/oswatcher"

    config.vm.provision "ansible_local" do |ansible|
        ansible.compatibility_mode = "2.0"
        ansible.playbook = "ansible/playbook.yml"
        ansible.extra_vars = {
          'oswatcher_path': "/vagrant/oswatcher",
        }
    end
end

Debug output

I don't believe Vagrant's debug log are useful here,
since the box configuration seems to be the root cause of this issue.

Expected behavior

The box should have been provisionned without any issues.

Actual behavior

The Ansible playbook systematically fails because of a network issue:

• Temporary failure resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com
• 400 bad request
• 404 not found

Or even before the Ansible playbook is executed, the network fails.

And if it manages to execute the playbook, it systematically fails here:

I had to add a retry statement in my Ansible task to force retry until the network is reachable:

    - name: install OSWatcher system dependencies
      package:
        name: "{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - virtualenv
        - python3-virtualenv
        - libguestfs0
        - libguestfs-dev
        - python3-guestfs
        - python3-dev
        - pkg-config
        - libvirt-dev
      register: result
      until: result is succeeded
      retries: 3
      delay: 10

Result:

Steps to reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/Wenzel/vagrant-oswatcher
2. git clone https://github.com/Wenzel/oswatcher
3. Edit vagrant-oswatcher/Vagrantfile and set the local path to oswatcher's repo
4. vagrant up --provider hyperv

Note: I suppose the Vagrant team manages generic boxes on Vagrant's Cloud.

Thanks !

Hey there @Wenzel - Since you mentioned you didn't think it was Vagrant but the box configuration you are using, please open an issue with the Generic group who maintains those boxes. You can find the repository here: https://github.com/lavabit/robox

If it's actually an issue with Vagrant feel free to ping us on here or open a new issue, thanks!
