I did try to add the '==' to the end of the base64 string and still get the same error. I am going to install cloudmonkey and try to pass the userdata from cli. I would appreciate if anyone has more ideas about how to resolve gui problem with userdata.

It turns out that the code is considering anything that ends with "==" as base 64 encoded. That can be a bit picky because sometimes you can encode something in base 64 and not get the "==" at the end, but still you will have to add it to use that functionality.
