I'm trying to make an automated installation of Kubuntu 20.04 with a PXE-Server. First using an ubuntu20.04-live-server image and the adding de kubuntu-desktop package. The thing is that I got lost at some point, because the autoinstaller doesn't do anything that appears on my user-data file.
Maybe someone can help me. This would be my PXE-Menu:
default menu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 300
menu title PXE Menu
LABEL Install Kubuntu 20.04 with Autoinstall
MENU LABEL Install Kubuntu 20.04 with Autoinstall
KERNEL initundkernel/vmlinuz
INITRD initundkernel/initrd
APPEND root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=150000i ip=dhcp url=http://myip/ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://myip/preseed/cloud-init/ cloud-config-url=/dev/null
The Menu works, it makes a correct installation of a plane ubuntu-server image, but that is all. It just pretends to read my user-data file:

I followed some documentations like the next one
https://louwrentius.com/understanding-the-ubuntu-2004-lts-server-autoinstaller.html#fnref:file but it doesn't work. I used /var/log/installer/autoinstall-user-data file as example and then I just need to add few things like the kubuntu-desktop package and then openssh-server with my ssh-key and allowing login as root.
Any help would be welcome
