[Solved] too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged

 

Issue:- 

WWhen installing the terragrunt using the snap got the following error

Error:- 

error: too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged

Effect:-

Was not able to install the terragrunt as installation failed at that very moment.

 [root@aafe920be71c ~]# snap install terragrunt
error: too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged
	

Resolution:-

Follow the following steps to resolve the issue

1. Try checking the status of the snapd service which was inactive in my case 

 [root@aafe920be71c ~]# systemctl status snapd.seeded.service
● snapd.seeded.service - Wait until snapd is fully seeded
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snapd.seeded.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) 
 

2. Now start the snapd service as

[root@aafe920be71c ~]# systemctl status snapd.seeded.service
● snapd.seeded.service - Wait until snapd is fully seeded
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snapd.seeded.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (exited) since Mon 2022-07-18 16:12:34 UTC; 2s ago
  Process: 6425 ExecStart=/usr/bin/snap wait system seed.loaded (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 6425 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

terragrunt 0+git.ae675d6 from dt9394 (terraform-snap) installed

Explanation:-

snapd service was not running due to which the snapd has failed to install the package and given the above error.
