[Bug 2066118] Re: 24.04 Subiquity Cannot Read Auto-install Cloud-init Files

[Chris]

This cloud-config is much shorter and cleaner than the one I had when I made this bug, and may have been the problem the whole time. Either that or we needed the 24.04.2 update.
After I tested this file and was able to get Ubuntu server to install itself, I didn't spend much time with older and more convoluted file. Obviously, if you download this then you'll have to fix the lines for the password and SSH key, since I put garbage on those lines.

Grub line: linux /vmlinuz ip=dhcp autoinstall url=http://[ server
]/server24-04-2.iso cloud-config-url=http://[ server ]/auto.yaml
fsck.mode=skip nomodeset

Title:
  24.04 Subiquity Cannot Read Auto-install Cloud-init Files

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since changing my PXE setup to serve a 24.04 ISO, I haven't been able to get the auto-installer to read any preseed files. I load the ISO and YAML from a local HTTP server, as always.
  Curiously, the second resolution for my server's name (to download the preseed) always fails, so I had to change the line in GRUB to use the IP. Is it just me?

  Possible Subiquity Bug:
  I've tried a few different files for cloud-init, but it fails to read them all the same way. I always receive the following error:

  Error parsing preconfiguration file: Syntax error: unable to determine
  template owner

  I tried the same file that I've always used as well as one copied from
  a new server running 24.04 so I'm not sure what to do and searching
  for that error online didn't yield anything helpful.
