I'm trying to install my ubuntu server 20.04.03 using autoinstall. I dont have any "late-commands", but the installer hangs at "executing late commands".

installer screenshot full log screenshot

Full syslog: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wzrRTF3ptt/

"autoinstall" config i used:

#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  packages:
    - libpam-ssh-agent-auth
  # late-commands:
  #   - curtin in-target --target=/target -- sed -i.old '1s;^;auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_ssh_agent_auth.so file=~/.ssh/authorized_keys  allow_user_owned_authorized_keys_file\n;' /etc/pam.d/sudo
  #   - curtin in-target --target=/target -- echo 'Defaults env_keep += "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/SSH

I don't know if this is related, but I've found that it takes a really long time to apply security updates for 20.04. The security updates are mandatory, so you can not configure the installer to skip them.

@PJSingh I've waited for 12+ hours, and it is still stuck there.

Wow. I had to wait about 1/2 hr while security updates were downloading, so I think 12 hrs more than long enough. I have also noticed that the installer seems to magically get configurations (like late-commands) from somewhere, but I also have not been able to figure out *from where* ?! Unfortunately, I don’t have expertise in this area to help you. Hopefully someone with experience in cloud-init can step in and help.

You can disable auto update function by disabling network devices in Ubuntu installer.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
