Please help! Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - have to reset twice, before startup process is successful

[kstergi]

Hey guys,

I'm running a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in VirtualBox 7.1.6 r167084 (Qt6.5.3) under macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81).

Runs quite well except one issue:
when powering up the VM the boot process hangs with the circling Ubuntu animation. Pressing ESC the boot messages says something like

Starting modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm...
[ OK ] Finished modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm.
[FAILED] Failed to start snapd.seeded.service - Wait until snapd is fully seeded.
See 'systemctl status snapd seeded service' for details.
Starting modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm...
[ OK ] Finished modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm.
Starting modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm...
[ OK ] Finished modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm.
Starting snapd.service - Snap Daemon...
Starting modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm...
Finished modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm.
[ *** ] (2 of 9) Job accounts-daemon.service/start running (3min 31s / 4min 31s)

This takes endless time so I Reset (Host+R) the VM. Then I have to choose the first option in the boot-manager and after doing this, everything is fine again.

Any hints how to get rid of this annoying procedure?

Thank you in advance

Konstantin
