ok I'm able to reproduce the ordering cycle in ephemeral boot stage for cloud-init-hotplug.service on noble images dated 20240916
cloud-init-hotplugd.service/socket may be the symptom tying into this ordering issue too. Digging a bit more today as they may be a symptom of the same problem and systemd might just be deleting NetworkManager-wait- online.service on 'first boot' but it has a slightly different symptom during ephemeral boot stage of the desktop installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081124 Title: systemd service dependency loop between cloud-init, NetworkManager and dbus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2081124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
