Could you please check both the journal log (sudo journalctl -ef -u snap.maas.supervisor) and supervisord log (/var/snap/maas/current/supervisord/supervisord.log) for errors and paste what you find?

Here is the output from the first (journalctl -ef -u snap.maas.supervisor)

cannot write to fd 11: Operation not permitted

I wonder if this is just a permission error (not sure how that would happen).
Does ownership/mode for the supervisord dir match the following on your install?

$ ls -lad  /var/snap/maas/current/supervisord
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100 Mar 30 09:55 /var/snap/maas/current/supervisord

root@maas:~# ls -lad /var/snap/maas/current/supervisord
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 30 16:27 /var/snap/maas/current/supervisord
root@maas:~# ls -la /var/snap/maas/current/supervisord

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 30 16:29 …
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 2238 Mar 30 16:29 supervisord.conf

What exactly is the 11th file descriptor opened by mass.supervisor? Is this the unix domain socket that cannot be found? unix:///var/snap/maas/11851/supervisord/sock?

@reggiecarey, did you ever figure this one out?

I’m currently running into the same error on my MaaS Server running version 3.2.4

Will post if I find a solution.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a solution.

I ended up installing MaaS again on a fresh host and starting from scratch.
