The previous comment was a red herring. It turns out it doesn't matter if uuidd is self compiled or not. The system uuidd also works perfectly if it is started in the terminal simply by
sudo uuidd However systemd starts uuidd with /usr/sbin/uuidd --socket-activation which probably makes a difference. ** Bug watch added: github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues #1704 https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/1704 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1976630 Title: uuidd appears to be broken on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1976630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
