Hi All,
A couple of weeks ago I made a Ubuntu 18.04 template that I deploy using PowerCLI.
Template is just a clean install of Ubuntu 18 with VMWare tools (guest managed)
I use the same script as for Ubuntu 16.04 to deploy and the scripts works perfect, except for Ubuntu 18.
Even when I don't use my script but the OSCustomization in vCenter I get errors.
When I do the deployment with script, OSCustomization fails and when I check the logs in /var/log/vmware-.... i see that it fails: cannot create bus connection.
What kind of bus connection ? I don't use any specific hardware in the VM, compaired with Ubuntu 16.
When I use the Customization in vCenter, I get errors because of my timezone that was not correct. In my script I don't specify that.
Does anyone else has issues with OSCustomization with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ? or does anyone recognized my issue and knows a solution ?
Best regards
Dave Greebe
What is the VC version?
Ubuntu is only supported with 6.7 and 6.5 Update 2 as per the compatibility matrix https://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-os-customization-matrix.pdf
Thanks,

As per the guest-os-customization matrix https://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-os-customization-matrix.pdf , custumization of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS works from ESXi 6.5U2 and later.
