I'm pretty sure that the trunk commit "just works" when applied to quantal. I'm attaching a deb here and the patch that built it, mainly for future reference.
I would appreciate feedback as to whether or not it works though. The reason (i think) it "just works" without a config change as Clint suggested is that the distro class in quantal returned a dict for 'get_default_user' the same as trunk does. The difference is one just comes from code (quantal) and the other from config (raring/trunk). b ** Patch added: "debdiff for quantal" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1100920/+attachment/3509037/+files/lp-1100920-quantal-sru.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100920 Title: In Ubuntu 12.10, the legacy 'user' cloud-config option is not handled properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1100920/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
