@dmuiX , that is happening because you are trying to remove snapd, I had same issue with it on ubuntu20.04. You see, cloud-init is installed via snapd, and when you try to remove and purge snapd, all the packages, including cloud-init, are removed, thus due to self-preservation, your command fails. I by passed it by moving the command to runcmd. that way the package will be removed on the first boot, without failing the system install.
:D :D. So a bit like canibalism^^. Thanks for sharing your solution.
Although: runcmd is not referenced in the documentation: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference. have you just added it like the rest? Or where have you found this? Maybe it was removed at the current version 2204? Is there some other way to add commands like the above?
@dmuiX this is was my guide line: https://gist.github.com/dbkinghorn/c236aea31d76028b2b6ccdf6d3c6f07e
@s3rj1k I have tried [user-data_with_ssh_and_project_quota] with ubuntu 22.04 but it was not accessing or not auto installing can you please ping the guide for ubuntu 22.04 server in auto install method.
Thanks in advance
Can you guys ping the working method for installing ubuntu 22.04 @s3rj1k @davosian @dmuiX @zero-pytagoras @zepx @dbkinghorn
@dmuiX this is was my guide line: https://gist.github.com/dbkinghorn/c236aea31d76028b2b6ccdf6d3c6f07e
Thank you.
Can you guys ping the working method for installing ubuntu 22.04 @s3rj1k @davosian @dmuiX @zero-pytagoras @zepx @dbkinghorn
I will look my one up and post it later
If you are interested i understanding the automated ubuntu installation a bit better this might be a good guide:
https://www.jimangel.io/posts/automate-ubuntu-22-04-lts-bare-metal/
Pretty basic. As I decided to install everything via commands. Might be because it was not working pretty well and I had no time or motivation. Switched now to cloud-init and mulitpass to make everything run as this was easier and works better. I think you can use cloud-init to install a ubuntu instance as well you just have to find a way to integrate it in an iso file or provide it via network.

Thank you so much @zero-pytagoras
Let me try now
per request earlier here's my most recent post on this stuff.
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/ubuntu-22-04-server-autoinstall-iso/
@bashadude you should thank @dbkinghorn : his initial tutorial and guidance led me to answers.... lemme know if t works for you.
FYI:
Ubuntu autoinstall is not the same as cloud-Init. It is based on cloud-Init but uses some additional commands.
@dmuiX mind sharing docs on ubuntu install ? I've used official ubuntu cloud-init docs but they are not very informative or clear.
@bashadude - any success ?

@dmuiX mind sharing docs on ubuntu install ? I've used official ubuntu cloud-init docs but they are not very informative or clear.
I shared one link above.
Don’t think that I used anything else. I can look if I find something else.
But overall:
To me it the auto-install seemed like it did not work very well for what I wanted to do so I first switched to entering commands manual after install and then to multipass and cloud-Init.
If I remember it correctly I could not change the ipadress and set dns-resolving to a different nameserver via late-command. So I said fuckit i will make it manual or use something else. In cloud-Init this works actually pretty well.

same error @zero-pytagoras
ok please share me if you find to autoinstall of ubuntu 22.04 @dmuiX i am facing error and got an headache work on this please ping if you find something
I can just repeat what i have written before. If it’s possible for you use cloud-Init. Works better in my opinion^^
@bashadude can you show the output of crash report. it is in /var/crash
folder
I've tested the yaml that i attached on virtual-box and it worked fine.
it seems you have some kind of problem with curtin that is implementing apt-config
and also interface it finds is eno8303 or eno8403 so that also needs to be fixedmay be with crash report i could debug it better... eventually is should look like this:
#cloud-config

@dmuiX ,
that is happening because you are trying to remove snapd, I had same issue with it on ubuntu20.04. You see, cloud-init is installed via snapd, and when you try to remove and purge snapd, all the packages, including cloud-init, are removed, thus due to self-preservation, your command fails.
I by passed it by moving the command to runcmd. that way the package will be removed on the first boot, without failing the system install.
