I am new to LXC/LXD and would like to start using it, but I have encountered an issue while launching a new ubuntu 22.04 image.
I have installed lxd using snap, following the instructions given on the LXD install page.
lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 test
lxc shell test
The snapd.seed.service
systemd job never finishes. Checking the systemd jobs within the container gives:

I would appreciate any help in finding the problem and resolving it (and learning more about LXC/LXD along the way).
