Container does not start -- some sort of ACPI problem

[mas94uk]

There is some sort of ACPI weirdness happening and preventing the container from starting. I don't really understand it well enough to give you a fix, but I hope the following helps.

I have tested this on my laptop (Ubuntu 22.04) and in a freshly installed Ubuntu 24.04 VM. Behaviour seems the same in both cases.

When I run docker run --privileged --pull=always --name=my-tl-demo --publish 9922:22 -t oposs/tl-ubuntu I get the following output:

The units which have not started in the above output appear never to start -- I have left it quite a while. (10-20 mintues.)

At the same time, htop on the docker host shows /sbin/init pegged at 100% CPU.

Running docker exec my-tl-demo tlcfg add-user myuser mypassword hangs.

If I run docker exec -ti my-tl-demo bash and in that run journalctl -f I see many pages of the following every second:
Jul 19 21:23:09 be24ec9d4a8e systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in ACPI event daemon being skipped.

As a hunch I deleted /etc/acpi/events and it burst into life.

TLDR: Need to rm -rf /etc/acpi/events inside the docker container to let it finish booting.

I have removed the acpid support ... hope this helps
