Public bug reported: In removing the LXD snap from preseeding in the server seed for Ubuntu 24.04 as part LP #2051346 [1] we also removed the snaps snap and the core22 snap.
This means that are subsequent snap install, like LXD, will take much longer than expected for a non minimized image. Time taken to install LXD snap using the lxd-installer package without snapd and core22 preinstalled/seeded ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ time sudo lxd --version Installing LXD snap, please be patient. 5.19 real 0m29.107s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.005s ``` Time taken to install LXD snap using the lxd-installer package with snapd and core22 already installed. ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ time sudo lxd --version Installing LXD snap, please be patient. 5.19 real 0m15.034s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.005s ``` This is a significant difference and for a workload we intend to remain as a core tested and tracked workload. As such I propose we re-introduce core22 and snaps snaps to our seed. LXD do intend to move to the core24 snap as their base as I'm sure snapd does too so when that does happen we need to update the preseeded core snap.
