<![CDATA[Issues with new vm after latest 8.3 updates (priror to release)]]>After applying the latest updates just release for 8.3 host. I am having this issue. - https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/103134

@rzr

Built new Ubuntu 24.04 vm either fresh install from ISO or from cloudint i seem to be having issues. Existing vms seem to be fine. First thought was becuase vm was multiple nics add it might have caused networking issues. Powered off that vm and build new (first as fresh from iso. Second from cloudint) with 1 nic. Same issues...

After further testing. It does appear latest changes to my script caused the script to break. I did not get a chance to test on a fresh vm prior to updating host to recent patch. Need to stop doing things half a sleep. Apologize.

corrected script all working now.

Your VM was presumably running an unattended upgrade while you were trying to install the tools.
