Hello Lukáš, You mentioned "initiate it with cloud-init (userdata + metadata)", may I know how did you initiate userdata and metadata? also you mentioned guestinfo.userdata and guestinfo.metadata, did you use the way described here: https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo ?
Another question: did you trigger guest customization on the VM? if not, you needn't disable guest customization from the vmware-toolbox-cmd. There should be a default user 'ubuntu' which is configured in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg, I think you will be asked to set password for this user when you deploy focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova on ESXi(I'm not sure what free version means, were you using vCenter server?) At last, we need cloud-init logs to see what really happened in VM, command 'sudo cloud-init collect-logs' should help to collect them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793715 Title: VMWare Guest OS Customization will fail for Ubuntu 18.04 Server LiveCD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1793715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
