You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Tested with WSL 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, wsl-setup is not hanging in the cloud-init wait step, but rather at reading input with the command 
`read -e -p "<SOME_PROMPT>" -i somevar`. 

The exact same command works in Plucky, where bash version is the same (GNU bash, version 5.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu); read is a shell builtin, not a real executable).
So, no logic error at the cloud-init step, but some unrelated regression to debug.


-- Edited from:
Tested with WSL 2.6.0 and 2.6.1, wsl-setup is hanging in the cloud-init wait step. That shouldn't be the case since the script checks if systemd is running before checking for cloud-init, so this must be a logic error.
