[Bug 1879286] Re: [UBUNTU 20.04] Netplan configuration fails to apply in subiquity installer

[Frank Heimes]

I tried such a setup today, means trying to manually enable the primary qeth device as well as a dasd disk via early-commands and I ended up with a network fail/crash (and a follow on fail/crash of the UI while - I think while the env. tried to generate a crash report).
$ cat *.meta
cat *.meta  
ä  
    "kind": "NETWORK_FAIL"  
üä  
    "kind": "UI"  

The installer switched succesfully into autoinstall mode, since I see the following msg via remote ssh:
"the installer running on /dev/tty1 will perform the autoinstall"

Logging in via the console gives me several indications that my data source got found and executed:
- I found a file that I 'touched' via early_commands
- and the two devices got properly activated:
lszdev 600 200  
TYPE       ID                          ON   PERS  NAMES  
dasd-eckd  0.0.0200                    yes  yes   dasda  
qeth       0.0.0600:0.0.0601:0.0.0602  yes  yes   enc600  

So far so good, the device enablement via early-commands worked!

But on further processing the network configuration step failed.

I've attached complete /var/crash and /var/log folder for further
analysis ...

Bug description:
  I'm installing Ubuntu 20.04 with a nocloud-net installation source on
  a z/VM guest. I'm currently limited to seeing installation output only
  through webhook reporter, because I cannot access shell on the target
  system during installation.

  Configuration seems to be working fine when applied on a manually
  installed system.
