"System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet"

Hello,

I just restored a LXC backup on my new Proxmox server.

I had to wait a long time before being able to use SSH on my CT (Ubuntu) :

"
Pre-authentication banner message from server:
| "System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet. Pl
> ease come back later. For technical details, see pam_nologin(8)."
End of banner message from server"

I don't have an IPv6 address or anything similar.

Everything was fine before I performed the backup.

What could have caused this?
 
Here's a thing to try, fixes the systemd-networkd-wait-online always failing in Debian LXC containers and causing the system to be "degraded".
Once systemd state is "running" you can log in via SSH. The workaround is to just always report a success using `true`. Might work in your Ubuntu as well.

Log into the host as root.
Code:
pct enter <number of container>

Run:
Code:
systemctl edit systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Add to the file near the top:
Code:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/true

And reboot, then try and log in immediately.
