Packer crash!

Asked by Akash

Packer is getting crashed while building an image, leaving the message:

"2025/04/15 17:28:41 ConfigSpec failed: connection is shut down
panic: ConfigSpec failed: connection is shut down [recovered]
        panic: ConfigSpec failed: connection is shut down"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PACKER CRASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Packer crashed! This is always indicative of a bug within Packer.
A crash log has been placed at "crash.log" relative to your current
working directory. It would be immensely helpful if you could please
report the crash with Packer[1] so that we can fix this.

Which Ubuntu release and which version of package are you running?
What is the output that you receive for the commands
uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt policy packer
packer version

In any case, the message that you receive tells, that you should create an issue document on github.

Reduced the ram which is specified for the qemu vm, initially i gave as 4GB then i reduced to 2GB..the reason may be my actual host is not supporting for 4GB of memory, for qemu vm.
