I believe at root cause this is from a cloud-init change that strengthened the generated random passwords, so intended behavior for cloud-init. I don't want to call this a cloud-init bug, the strengthening of the passwords there was intentional.
Relevant PR: https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/5815 Example passwords: [rand_user_password() for _ in range(20)] ["Xg!O&l_:r$2'W$I1eqt>", '3B[OWOVlY#5mz6$JAol+', '&P.1;FQw\\#ac3XIJkpR<', 'Zd(2tGbNTwCq4lwWT#>`', '/q1i*0boNQg:IQeCn)^J', 'EZxV\\H<"c9cHhLU5352I', 'ir#z}|^ZCnIG|1U}T5v`', ":rEBEAKqm'E622;h/x1&", "]gk8mH]'>7`?PX'.el%'", 'i]f4<#2S1]O,yu*I\\PTi', 'B^.a{V0gr4rqKc7^&$4|', ';^JM>WOzoan2j!{YH|04', 'CL?YQ/rV@4TA]uc?e3m/', 'D8N{NA4r.}d*vD4[v}{?', '9Yjm+@*|%A6%xRE~vry5', 'pqkSH`V,F;3XQ+T@v?|+', 'cGM;||(mPB*y`2!^U1=s', '-CQ3sbIq)1y]oe<zGL?u', '*J_a0gJUKSX0CpDK?d:%', '9acI)a"~h1RE\\X$HpqjF'] Those are a bit more strict than we need them to be for Subiquity. I plan to submit a PR to cloud-init where we can request a password that looks like the previous ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2118989 Title: Got temp. installer password with strange character To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/2118989/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
