Public bug reported:

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
----------------
Just upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04 (lunar) from Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic). systemd-oomd fails with "ConditionControlGroupController=memory was not met" during boot. 
If you manually started it after boot it starts but after a few minutes it fails with the same error.
