The image was working fine, and although the sheer amount of experimentation and reinstalls makes my memory foggy, I do believe this particular install had gone through a ubuntu-core update without any issues. What caused the issue in the first place is a real networking issue. I had placed the install within a DMZ that was wrongly configured, so the clients of the subnet was unable to get a lease on an IP-address. It was left on this subnet for quite some time and over several boots. It now has internet access again, but the snap daemon fails continuously. For what reason I'm unsure. I've seen different reports of snap daemon failing because it starts before networking in the boot process, maybe I'm suffering the same problem. This bug then, would have surfaced due to a longer period of no network access for unknown reasons.
@Michael I'm unfamiliar with journalctl and have yet to manage to get any form of relevant info from a query. Maybe you could help me with some suggestions as to what to search for in the journal? @Oliver The image is from https://people.canonical.com/~mvo/all-snaps/obsolete/, it was downloaded on the 19th of September. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632363 Title: snapd fail on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1632363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
