Comment 1 for bug 1674861

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to file this bug.

Cloud-init attempts to identify compute via the smbios information in /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name. The documentation shows that that field should contain 'Google Compute Engine', and my testing seems to validate that.

can you please collect the following from the system:

  /run/cloud-init/
  /etc/cloud/
  /var/log/cloud-init.log
  dmesg > dmesg.txt
  journalctl -o short-precise > journal.txt
  uname -a

Then, please run:
  sudo /usr/lib/ds-identify --force

And collect the (now updated) files:
  /run/cloud-init/cloud.cfg
  /run/cloud-init/ds-identify.log

After doing so, please set the bug back to 'confirmed'.
Thanks again.

Scott
