According to the ubuntu manual, the automatically generated autoinstall-user-data will just work. However, when I try to use it to seed the server, it report shcema error:

My experience using the `/var/log/installer/autoinstall-user-data` file is that it will give errors. Each Ubuntu release contains a newer version of the installer, so the errors vary based on the release. I would use sample `user-data` files and merge in whatever sections you need customized. My stock `user-data` file is in this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/1235724/376778

The generated autoinstall-user-data had an extra level of 'kernel' in it. This has been resolved on the Subiquity main branch. For existing autoinstall files, if you have something like the following:

kernel:
  kernel:
    package: linux-generic

please change it to look like:

kernel:
  package: linux-generic.

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.
