I'd just like to clarify something. The above statement is neither true nor helpful. cloud-init (since 18.04) does not run unless it is on a cloud or has cloud platform metadata. It is perfectly fine to have cloud-init installed on a desktop or a server that is not running "on a cloud". In order to accomplish this, cloud-init is only enabled via a generator. That generator ran 'blkid', and 'blkid' blocked indefinitely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856560 Title: ds-identify - stuck in uninterruptible sleep state Status in cloud-init: Invalid Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: We got recurring issues with the cloud-init/ds-identify process.
