[Bug 1933523] Re: Temporary installer password and key fingerprints are not printed with latest impish daily ISOs

[Dan Bungert]

Hi @Frank,

So I looked into this a bit, and with some feedback help from mwhudson,
I see that we attempt to print the ssh info.  Presumably this isn't
going in the place you're looking, however.

Something that changed relatively recently was that we no longer have
cloud-init handle setting the temp password of the installer user.

Is that how you get the ssh key / installer user password historically?  From the cloud-init output?  Some message like
'Above you will find SSH host keys and a random password set for the `installer` user'

Title:
  Temporary installer password and key fingerprints are not printed with
  latest impish daily ISOs

Status in subiquity:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Confirmed
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Using the latest Impish daily ISO (timestamp) 2021-06-24 I faced the
  situation that I didn't got a temporary installation password not the
  key fingerprints at the end of the installer boot-up process.

  Hence I am not able to perform an installation from remote via ssh.
  However, subiqity is started at the console (e.g. Integrated ASCII console) and an installation can be successfully completed there, but a console installation is not in all cases possible, for example with z/VM guests.

  As one can read between the lines I tried this on s390x (Integrated
  ASCII console and z/VM), but 'paride' tried the same on amd64 and ran
  into the same symptoms, so it does not seem to be architecture
  specific.

  This must have happened recently, since I already was able to do ssh-based Impish installations on s390x in the past (for example with the daily ISO from 06-14-2021).

  This is not the case for the 20.04 dailies - I can do remote ssh installation with the 20.04 live daily ISOs.

  With Impish on s390x the kernel parameter 'quiet' is still set by
  default.
