I'm wondering if we are seeing a regression here. On a focal host system, I am unable to launch disco or eoan containers as snapd.seeded service doesn't complete: root@mytest:~# systemd-analyze Bootup is not yet finished (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0). Please try again later. Hint: Use 'systemctl list-jobs' to see active jobs root@mytest:~# snap version snap 2.42.1+19.04 snapd 2.42.1+19.04 series 16 ubuntu 19.04 kernel 5.3.0-19-generic root@mytest:~# systemctl list-jobs JOB UNIT TYPE STATE 117 snapd.seeded.service start running 90 systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service start waiting 123 cloud-config.service start waiting 118 cloud-init.target start waiting 100 snapd.autoimport.service start waiting 1 graphical.target start waiting 2 multi-user.target start waiting 122 cloud-final.service start waiting 8 jobs listed. root@mytest:~# grep CODE /etc/os-release VERSION_CODENAME=disco UBUNTU_CODENAME=disco root@mytest:~# My host system: csmith@downtown:~/src/ubuntu-sru $ dpkg -l | grep snap ii chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra 78.0.3904.108-0ubuntu1 amd64 Transitional package - chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra -> chromium-ffmpeg snap ii ebtables 2.0.10.4+snapshot20181205-1ubuntu1 amd64 Ethernet bridge frame table administration ii gir1.2-snapd-1:amd64 1.54-0ubuntu1 amd64 Typelib file for libsnapd-glib1 ii gnome-software-plugin-snap 3.30.6-2ubuntu11 amd64 Snap support for GNOME Software ii libsnapd-glib1:amd64 1.54-0ubuntu1 amd64 GLib snapd library ii libsnappy1v5:amd64 1.1.7-2 amd64 fast compression/decompression library ii lxd 1:0.7 all Transitional package - lxd -> snap (lxd) ii snapd 2.42.1+20.04 amd64 Daemon and tooling that enable snap packages ii snapd-login-service 1.23-0ubuntu1 amd64 Daemon to allow non-root access to snapd csmith@downtown:~/src/ubuntu-sru $ snap list Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes aws-cli 1.16.266 151 stable aws✓ classic core 16-2.42.4 8213 stable canonical✓ core core18 20191126 1279 stable canonical✓ base git-ubuntu 0.7.4+git16.0a79cbc 391 stable canonical✓ classic go 1.13.5 4901 stable mwhudson classic hub v2.13.0 26 stable felicianotech classic juju 2.7.0 9876 stable canonical✓ classic lxd 3.0.4 11348 3.0/stable/… canonical✓ - multipass 0.9.0 1425 beta canonical✓ classic
