I was going to say that you could use debconf to provide a setting that allows the user to change this, and then have cloud images do that instead of using the .d/ directory.
Then I looked and found some code to do that already, in grub-efi- amd64.config, using the grub2/linux_cmdline_default debconf key. I'm not sure how that relates to cloud images in general, but that's a clear path forward I think? > i don't think there's much that can be done on the cloud image side as all that's done is add the cloudimg-settings file Well, the point is, don't do that, since that's what creates the problem :-) ** Changed in: cloud-images Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812752 Title: UX: changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub has no effect in cloud images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1812752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
