Spurious failure on GitHub arm64 linux runners

[lovesegfault]

Error

While trying out the new arm64 runners, I saw this spurious failure:

Error: 
   0: Install failure
   1: Error executing action
   2: Action `create_upstream_init_service` errored
   3: Action `configure_init_service` errored
   4: Failed to execute command `"systemctl" "daemon-reload"`
      stdout: 
      stderr: Reload daemon failed: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)

   4: exited with status code: 1

I'm seeing this more and more, for whatever reason it's quite common on these hosts.

"Great."

I wonder if this is just an issue with the image / configuration / whatever on these machines (since they are fairly new). They also appear to publish 22.04 images -- could you try with that and see if that has the same issue?

This is super annoying. We've actually been using these machines for four months now: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/commit/ab99f41e5a1afd1da0f71e49e575d76f6489a742#diff-f6d710dfea0b18b6ee14c3c05f43cf6057236e294f4be992dbb52249786fa88a

I suspect this is due to our machines using 22.04 instead of 24.04, which wasn't available at the time. ~I'll upgrade~ I have upgraded our machines to 24.04 so we feel the pain :)

I moved my repo back to 22.04 for now, let's see if it's stable or if the issue reoccurs :)

I'm seeing varying failures of compile commands on Linux-aarch64 builds of PyMuPDF (https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF).

The builds are done with docker/setup-qemu-action@v1 on ubuntu-latest.

They worked fine on 2025-01-17, but failed the next time we did a build, on 2025-02-06.

Three very different failures, so it does look like a problem with the system:
