Public bug reported: * Problem description:
It is quite easy to accidentally trigger the on-demand installation of LXD's snap which takes a while. This is something that can, for example, happen inside a LXD instance where the operator didn't notice the instance was "entered". Something: $ lxc launch ubuntu-minimal:noble c1 $ lxc shell c1 # accidentally enter `c1` # lxc list # try to interact with LXD in the host but mistakenly triggers lxd-installer This last step is taking a while because multiple snaps need to be installed due to that `lxc list` being run in the wrong environment (instance instead of host). This is why https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd-installer/+bug/2073941 and https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/when-an-lxc-command-is-used-on-a-system- without-lxc-lxd-lxd-is-immediately-installed-should-it-be-that-way/46570 were opened/reported. * Motivation for the FFe: A better behavior would be for `lxd-installer` to detect if there is a terminal and if yes, prompt for a confirmation before doing the lengthy installation process. If no terminal is detect, it should assume that LXD is to be installed on-demand (current behavior). That is what https://code.launchpad.net/~sdeziel/ubuntu/+source/lxd- installer/+git/lxd-installer/+merge/471653 * Additional information: lxd-installer authoritative sources live at https://code.launchpad.net/~git-ubuntu-import/ubuntu/+source/lxd- installer/+git/lxd-installer/+ref/ubuntu/devel so this is not a new upstream release per se.
