Public bug reported: pollinate runs too early on some of the instances i launch. Basically nothing guarantees that it will have network access when it attempts to run.
failure looks something like: $ lxc launch xenial x1 $ sleep 4 $ lxc exec x1 systemctl status pollinate ● pollinate.service - Seed the pseudo random number generator on first boot Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pollinate.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2016-04-28 17:16:03 UTC; 1min 17s ago Process: 86 ExecStart=/usr/bin/pollinate (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 86 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Apr 28 17:16:03 ubuntu systemd[1]: Starting Seed the pseudo random number generator on first boot...
