microk8s status --wait-ready hanging

[Arthur378]

In the process of installing microk8s, I use microk8s status --wait-ready command at one stage, but after many minutes, there is no answer and use ctrl + c :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/microk8s/6876/scripts/wrappers/status.py", line 212, in <module>
    is_ready = wait_for_ready(timeout)
  File "/snap/microk8s/6876/scripts/wrappers/common/utils.py", line 198, in wait_for_ready
    time.sleep(2)
KeyboardInterrupt

Building the report tarball
  Report tarball is at /var/snap/microk8s/6876/inspection-report-20240718_093640.tar.gz

How do I fix the problem?

Hi @Arthur378 most probably the API server fails to start can you please attach the inspection tarball (/var/snap/microk8s/6876/inspection-report-20240718_093640.tar.gz) so we can look at the logs?
