# Enhancement

I m trying to automate an raspberry installation running on ubuntu 24.
It seems possible to manage this part using the cloud-init with autoinstall.
I used the following process:
download the image ubuntu24 desktop for rpi 64 flash the sdcard with this image modify on the first partition the file user-data with below code
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
version: 1
locale: "fr_FR.UTF-8"
keyboard:
layout: fr
timezone: Europe/Paris
identity:
hostname: myrpi
When i boot up the rpi it always prompt for language and keyboard selection. I tried to use the key interactive-sections without any success.
Do you have any suggestions ? or ideas ?
Thanks by advance.

Research direction
Start with the first-partition user-data file and the Ubuntu 24 Raspberry Pi image's cloud-init/autoinstall entry point. Reproduce the boot using the provided locale, keyboard, timezone, and identity settings, then trace why language and keyboard prompts remain; done means the installation completes without interaction.
