[Bug 2028862] Re: Mantic hangs during install with continuous 'Job snapd.seeded.service/start running' messages

[Frank Heimes]

Also tried on z/VM and this problem also didn't happened to me anymore
(but later bumped into LP#2029479 again).

So with that I will mark the affected 'ubuntu-z-systems' project entry
as Fix Released.

Many thx!

Bug description:
  While trying to install the latest mantic ISO image (tried current and
  pending) on s390x (but it's probably not limited to a certain
  architecture) the installation hangs with never-ending messages like
  this:

  (sorry for the 'special' characters, but it's because I copied the
  content from the HMC console)

  I was told that using the kernel arg
  "systemd.mask=snapd.seeded.service" should help to workaround this,
  still need to try this out ...
