Currently, there is no resolution.
Workaround:
To work around this issue:
- Use perl scripts as the customization engine
OR
- Set cloud-init as the customization engine when customizing Ubuntu 18.04.x Live Server.
To use perl script as the customization engine:
- Disable cloud-init by running the command sudo touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled.
OR
Remove cloud-init by running the command sudo apt-get purge cloud-init.
- Open the tmp.conf file under /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf file.
Note: This step is not required on VMs for which the open-vm-tools version is 10.3.10 or later version.
Go to the line 11 and add the prefix # .
For example:
#D /tmp 1777 root root -
- If you have open-vm-tools installed, open the /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service file.
Note: This step is not required on vSphere 6.7 U3.
Add the line After=dbus.service under [Unit]
To set cloud-init as the customization engine:
- Add a new line with disable_vmware_customization: false in the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file.
- Remove the /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net directory.
- Remove the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/50-curtin-networking.cfg file.
- Open the tmp.conf file under /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf file.
Note: This step is not required on VM having open-vm-tools version 10.3.10 and later.
Go to the line 11 and add the prefix #.
For example:
#D /tmp 1777 root root -
