Comment 4 for bug 1779948

I believe this may be a different issue to bug 1779961. That bug is (quote) "Boot stops at "Starting Initial cloud-init job (metadata service crawler)..."

However in my case boot pauses and alternately displays "Failed to start snappy daemon, see systemctl status snapd.service for details" and "Starting wait until snapd is fully seeded".

This repeats for about 15 minutes, and then the system continues booting normally, and once booted everything appears to work as normal.
