[Bug 2013403] Re: lunar riscv64 preinstalled image shows login prompt before login is possible

[John Chittum]

and here i was thinking it'd be more than a systemd target change :) I
had the hope, but didn't want to get excited.

I'll give a general +1 there, with the caveat of wanting to test in a
bunch of scenarios (of course)

Title:
  lunar riscv64 preinstalled image shows login prompt before login is
  possible

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing the lunar unmatched daily image in qemu, I was given a login
  prompt on console and tried to log in, and it repeatedly failed.

  This is because cloud-init had not finished running, so the user that
  was provisioned via nocloud data was not actually available.

  There should not be a race.  The login prompt should not be shown
  until after the user exists - either by changing the ordering of the
  systemd units, or by not using cloud-init to configure the initial
  user.  (I don't see any obvious reason that a hard-coded initial
  user/password should be done via cloud-init instead of being
  prepopulated in /etc/passwd, but feel free to enlighten me.)
