Github SSH keys are not copied to new home directory

[[e-mail]]

When installing the daily build of 20.04 downloaded on April 18, I choose to import my keys from GitHub. That appeared to work correctly, but when logging in the first time I find they're not in the ~/.ssh directory, and I need to ssh-copy-id.

ci-info reports no SSH authorization keys for user.

Can you please execute

$ ubuntu-bug subiquity

on that installed machine, that should collect and upload all the installer logs for us to inspect?

Hello randysr,

I tried a couple of times and the ssh key import from GitHub worked fine with the latest Focal daily image. It would still be interesting to understand how it failed in your case, so please do attach the install logs if you can.

Could you also please double check that you are actually using the ISO image from April 18? This is one quick way to check the actual build date of an ISO image:

  bsdtar -x -f /tmp/focal-live-server-amd64.iso -O './.disk/info'

Thanks!

There was a bug that caused this symptom and you installed an ISO from 19 days ago... I'm not sure the dates line up but I'm going to assume that they do. If you can reproduce with a newer ISO please reopen!
