Thanks Joshua .. thats pretty much it. so at all times if i need to use Cloud Config / User data i must use cloud-init as well to do the customize instead of Perl . the problem is when i do that i have no network, no IP, no updated hostname update and of course no connectivity for anything to work.
unless we are saying that currently we can't use Cloud-init on VMware period ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833623 Title: VMware Guest OS Customization Fail for Ubuntu 16.04 with Cloud-init 19.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1833623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
