Odd_Blokeuebera||: Can I confirm your issue from a few days ago: changing `500` to `"500"` in your config is what fixed your UID issue?  Or did you end up finding something else going on?13:21
Odd_Blokemeena: I've been lying on the floor with back pain all of this week so far, which has probably contributed to the silence. :p13:21
uebera||Odd_Bloke: Yes, just using a string "500" instead of an integer 500 solved my problem with respect to UIDs.13:41
=== vrubiolo1 is now known as vrubiolo
uebera||If only there was a way to specify GIDs (as far as I understand, a certain patch was not applied). I used runcmd (along with sed) to change the GID of a created account (requires a reboot), but that's really, really dirty.13:49
Odd_Blokeuebera||: Would you be interested in contributing a gid change?14:28
uebera||Odd_Bloke: If this --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1396362/comments/5 does not apply cleanly anymore, I'd be interested in a modification (have not tested this yet).14:32
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1396362 in cloud-init "Support UID and GID specification in user and group definitions" [Low,Triaged]14:32
uebera||Given that the VM in question is now up and running, I should have time to look at the above during the weekend.14:33
Odd_Blokeuebera||: Given that we do now support `uid`, I don't think that patch will cleanly apply (because it includes changes to support `uid`).  If you do end up having time, we'd love the contribution; the getting started guide is here: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/hacking.html#submitting-your-first-pull-request16:44
Odd_Bloke(If you hit any hurdles, we're happy to help in here, but note that most of the committers only monitor this channel in ~North American weekday timezones so assistance over the weekend may be sparse. :)16:46
meenaOdd_Bloke: obviiously, the solution to that then is that you should complain about your back pain, whenever that happens. a lot.17:18
uebera||Odd_Bloke: Thanks for the link, bookmarked. ;)20:17
meenai cannot believe i was just removed from the Canonical github organisation!20:27
meenawhy was i on it again??20:28
powersjmeena, yeah I couldn't recall and all I saw was read-only20:33
powersjso read-only on a public project didn't make sense20:33
meenait's just jokey fake outrage20:35
meenaOdd_Bloke: added me like that, so y'all could request me as reviewer20:36
meenabut of course, that probably wasn't documented, and anyway, most authorization UIs don't really have a space for "why", or?20:37
