Hello all,

I was able to successfully get Devstack up and running per the instructions on EDX Introduction to Openstack class. However, when I rebooted my computer I got this error during boot:

"Failed to start Initial cloud-init job (pre-networking). See 'systemctl status cloud-init-local.service' for details"

Once I was able to log in I ran the systemctl status cloud-init-local.service command and received this error:

"● cloud-init-local.service - Initial cloud-init job (pre-networking) Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cloud-init-local.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2016-10-20 22:18:59 CDT; 9min ago Process: 796 ExecStart=/usr/bin/cloud-init init --local (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 796 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

This is what my /usr/bin/cloud-init file looks like:

"#!/usr/bin/python3

EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'cloud-init==0.7.8','console_scripts','cloud-init'

requires = 'cloud-init==0.7.8' import sys from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if name == 'main': sys.exit( load_entry_point('cloud-init==0.7.8', 'console_scripts', 'cloud-init')() ) "

I googled this error and several topics popped up but could not find any solutions. I also made a post on the discussion board but so far no solutions. Any help is appreciated because I cannot seem to resolve this by myself.

Thank you
