qemu-guest-agent fails to install with latest 20.04 about boilerplates HOT 6 CLOSED

Let's wait if we get more info from Canonical or Ubuntu Community here, I can't reproduce the issue on my end, unfortunately

from boilerplates.

I did an upgrade of Proxmox today and will try again as the qemu tools were updated as well. Will try again tonight and let you know the result.

Thanks for the help!

@andrei-matei do you have any update?

Hi @ChristianLempa

Thank you for the wait. After the upgrade of Proxmox I tried again and it seems I got the same result.
As others don't have the issue, I guess it's something related to my env but cannot figure out why. Anyways, I user the 20.04.4 image and do an apt-get upgrade but would really want to understand what't the matter with .5 iteration :)

Right now I don't have access to the env to perform tests as my VPN is down but will try again next week. Please leave it open a bit more.

Thanks,
Andrei

@andrei-matei i have done a workaround that worked for me for ubuntu 20.04.5. i answered this question who also had problems with qemu-guest-agent. my workaround is to install qemu-guest-agent as part of the late-commands block instead of inside the packages block as an example here:

#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  version: 1
  locale: en_GB
  late-commands:
    - curtin in-target -- apt-get update
    - curtin in-target -- apt-get install qemu-guest-agent
  keyboard:
    layout: us
  ssh:
    install-server: true
    allow-pw: true
    disable_root: true
    ssh_quiet_keygen: true
    allow_public_ssh_keys: true
  packages:
    - sudo
  storage:
    layout:
      name: direct
    swap:
      size: 0
  user-data:
    package_upgrade: false
    timezone: Asia/Manila
    users:
      - name: <user>
        groups: [adm, sudo, docker]
        lock-passwd: false
        sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
        shell: /bin/bash
        # passwd: "password1"
        # - or -
        ssh_authorized_keys:
          - <ssh_key>

let me know if this updated user-data worked for you too
