| dasdascas | I'm trying to get a debian VM started up in QEMU using cloud-init. I followed the tutorial in the docs (https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/qemu.html) and it works with the ubuntu image it suggests. When I swap that image out for a debian one (this one: https://cdimage.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/20240429-1732/debian-12-generic-amd64-20240429-1732.qcow2), it stops worki | 19:06 |
|---|---|---|
| dasdascas | *it stops working. I get a console but can't log in with the username "debian" and the password that I set in user-data. | 19:06 |
| dasdascas | Mounting the VMs disk on the host machine, I can see an exception getting logged in /var/log/cloud-init.log that the user debian doesn't exist (log: https://pastebin.com/fWvwVSAV). | 19:07 |
| dasdascas | Looking in /etc/passwd, there isn't an entry for debian, and only root has a login shell other than /usr/sbin/nologin. I tried a couple of older debian images and got the same result. | 19:07 |
| dasdascas | This feels like a bug in the image, but I'm totally new to cloud-init so I could be misunderstanding something? Should I be able to swap the debian image in for the ubuntu image and have everything just keep working? | 19:07 |
| dasdascas | Turned out to be an issue with different cloud-init version in the two OSes. The debian one is 22.4, which needs `ds='nocloud-net';...` rather than `ds='nocloud';...` in the smbios serial number | 21:03 |
| blackboxsw | thanks dasdascas for the debug and followup comments there. | 21:04 |
