Public bug reported:
When installing cloud-init in vmware without any setup for user/vendor
data it breaks the ubuntu user.
Steps to reproduce:
1. take vmwre (free 30 days is fine)
2. install xenial (maybe newer as well but my case was xenial)
3. set up your user to be ubuntu/ubuntu (through the vmware fast installer)
# you now have a working system
# no user/vendor data provider was set up (unless vmware did some internally)
4. install cloud-init
5. reboot
# on reboot I see the cloud init vmware data gatherer timing out (fine as
expected)
# But after that I can't login anymore, so it seems it changed the user
This came up in debugging another issue - so there is a chance I messed
the service dependencies up enough to trigger this :-/ (we need to check
that)
Sorry, this sucks at getting logs and since I can't login anymore ...
I'll have to setup a new system with a second user to use to take a look.
