I have an autoinstall on a custom 20.04 ISO I'm building using Cubic. Subiquity is the Curtin log below and providing a path but I can't work out how to break into a shell. This happened after cloud-init ran.

I hit the key combo Alt-F2 and get a shell. This works with both the legacy and live installers. Subiquity logs will be in /var/log/installer. The key combo Alt-F1 will take you back to the installer UI

It looks like you hit the point where subiquity generates a config for curtin. Either subiquity is failing to generate the config or curtin is failing with the provided config

When using Subiquity Live Server installer (NOT the Desktop installer):

  • Look in the top orange bar for the [Help] menu. "Enter a shell" is an option there.
  • Or use CTRL+Z or F2

When finished with the shell, the command exit will return you to the Subiquity installer.

There's only one tty: You cannot run Subiquity and a shell on different ttys.
