Password in cloud-init doesn't seem to work, default one does though (for ubuntu)

Okay so i tried this with the same configuration as my ubuntu example in the the first post.

config:
  security.secureboot: "false"
  user.user-data: |
    #cloud-config
    ssh_pwdauth: yes
    users:
      - name: user
        passwd: "\$6\$s.wXDkoGmU5md\$d.vxMQSvtcs1I7wUG4SLgUhmarY7BR.5lusJq1D9U9EnHK2LJx18x90ipsg0g3Jcomfp0EoGAZYfgvT22qGFl/"
        lock_passwd: false
        groups: lxd
        shell: /bin/bash
        sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

You would think the username would be “user” and the password would be “ubuntu”, but no.

sudo lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 uvm1 --vm --profile=cloud-init

Using launch images:ubuntu/focal/cloud (cloud image) I get the familiar initramfs errors from the above post.

This is highly annoying and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get this working :frowning:.
