Public bug reported:
uuidgen -t returns a correct result when uuidd is _not_ running. See the
following transcript
vdbergh@pl:~/$ sudo systemctl stop uuidd.service uuidd.socket
vdbergh@pl:~/$ uuidgen -t
ef485202-e275-11ec-b7ab-448500dea459 <---- (correct: last part is the MAC
address)
vdbergh@pl:~/$ sudo systemctl start uuidd.service
vdbergh@pl:~/$ uuidgen -t
f8e7b3ca-e275-11ec-b074-1d42fae212d0 <---- (incorrect)
The same issue appears with every program that relies on libuuid.
Example: uuid.getnode() in python3 is supposed to return the MAC address
but this only works if uuidd is not running.
