| -ubottu:#cloud-init- Issue 4335 in canonical/cloud-init "'reset password' cannot switch to the other authentication mode because of 50-cloud-init.conf" [Open] | 07:13 | |
| a7x | hi, I am trying to autoinstall on an existing laptop and cloudinit is failing here: https://github.com/canonical/curtin/blob/master/curtin/block/__init__.py#L1241 | 19:30 |
| a7x | if not (is_block or os.path.isfile(path)): | 19:30 |
| a7x | raise ValueError("%s: not an existing file or block device", path) | 19:30 |
| a7x | :) any hint? | 19:30 |
| blackboxsw | a7x: that trace back isn't cloud-init it's curtin given your link. let's post that over in #ubuntu-server channel. sorry for redirect there it's just that better eyes are available there for this discussion | 19:33 |
| a7x | thanks blackboxsw | 19:38 |
| blackboxsw | I think you'd need to understand what path variable is in that log message, it's trying to test whether something is a block device when running. a remote pastebin more logs would probably be required to better understand in the ubuntu-server channel your context there | 19:44 |
| meena | FreeBSD did away with the distinction between character and block devices some twenty years ago | 19:45 |
| blackboxsw | :) | 19:49 |
| blackboxsw | a7x it will help the autoinstall folks if you could provide them with the autoinstall configuration that is producing this error condition, I expect the partitioning declarations you have may be pointing at some path that isn't quite what is expected | 19:49 |
| meena | the best time to get rid of useless code is twenty years ago. the second best time to do is now. | 19:55 |
| minimal | the "zero" best time it not to write it in the first place ;-) | 19:56 |
| meena | 👍 | 20:00 |
| minimal | I'm a great coder as I don't write useless code (regardless of if I don't actually write any code at all) ;-) | 20:06 |
| dbungert | only features, no bugs | 20:07 |
