I seem to have encountered the same or similar issue in ubuntu focal/20.04 when using the image ubuntu-minimal-2004-focal-v20210928 on GCP. Creating a new custom GCP image using this as the base image and running:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade -y created a custom image that exhibited the same issues with GCP OS login. Rebooting the VM also resolved the ssh connection issues. Placing a hold ('apt-mark hold cloud-init') on the cloud-init package before running the upgrade also seemed to resolve the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938299 Title: Unable to SSH Into Instance when deploying Impish 21.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1938299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
