Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 22.10, uuid-runtime version 2.38-4ubuntu1
I noticed that if I ran "uuidgen -t" then I would get a line like this
in my system logs: "uuidd: failed to open/lock clock counter"
Using strace I saw that the reason was a lack of permission to write to
"/var/lib/libuuid/clock.txt". The directory "/var/lib/libuuid/" is
owned by root, however "uuidd" is run as a systemd service
(uuidd.service) as user "uuidd". This fixed it: "sudo chown uuidd:uuidd
/var/lib/libuuid/".
So I think the uuid-runtime package should ensure that
"/var/lib/libuuid" is owned by "uuid".
