Has anyone been able to get customization working for Ubuntu 18.04 guests? I've seen very scant information on it when searching the internet. If I clone using Pyvmomi or even manually using a customization spec, the VM does not customize. My toolsDeployPkg.log shows the same output as toolsDeployPkg.log · GitHub (which isn't very helpful):
