MAAS can't find llpd package?

I have maas configured for dhcp but it seems the instances can’t find the llpd package. This smells like a networking issue somehow??

Here you can see my network settings. The .1/32 is my juniper router. The .110/32 is my maas server.

I have it configured as a proxy.

The error is:

" E: Unable to locate package lldpd "

What’s the output of the following command?

maas $ADMIN package-repositories read

My bad here you go, Alex:

root@orion:/home/john# maas maas_admin package-repositories read 
Success.
Machine-readable output follows:

Hey, Alex - also would you happen to know how to retrieve the default username / password for ubuntu images after maas commissioning?

assuming it’s an official Ubuntu image, the user is ubuntu, and it doesn’t have a password. MAAS injects the SSH keys of the user that deployed it.

about the lldpd package, your repositories look standard.

Are you using a APT proxy? Often this error is caused by an incomplete mirror, as this package is in universe and not main

At Alex, side question - is there a way to commission a machine over PXE but automatically keep it powered on for ssh and also not configure bmc etc?

I can see these options on commissioning an existing registered Machine from UI but not sure how to do it as a preset definition before pxe boot.
