I am trying to create an automated Ubuntu image with packer. Packer is successfully passing user-data to Autoinstaller, but is failing and I have not been able to determine why by looking at the installer, cloud-init, or curtin logs. Hoping someone else can help. Relevant error message appears to be in curtin-install.log.
curtin-install.log
