Public bug reported: >From my testing, it seems if you have a multipart user-data file that contains both a boothook and a shell script, the latter will not run. I have been testing with all sorts of user-data files and only in this setup (a boothook AND a script) do I see the shell script not run at all.
This is using the the Amazon Ubuntu 12.04.1 AMI (ami-ac4300fe) PS The reason I am at this point is that running "echo myhostname > /etc/hostname" in the boothook sees it overwritten by cloud-init. Even with a line like this in the boothook "sed -i 's/preserve_hostname/preserve_hostname: True/g' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg" hence I have to add a shell script for this. Thanks. ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086646 Title: text/x-shellscript doesn't run if text/cloud-boothook present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1086646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
