Still an issue on the latest version of Testing Edition

If you upgrade your new installation and reboot the issue should be resolved.  The fix just hasn't landed on any new iso's yet.

Nope, I have multiple times between your comment and mine and it's not fixed.

should finally be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/neon/neon/ubuntu-advantage-tools/-/commit/8bee53fed45546227b046132fdc44ec4a6f97f63
needed to put the post-install magic on the auto installed neon-ubuntu-advantage-tools  package.  will wait for your confirmation before closing this bug report

Ah yes, the power of a trademark.
(Or whatever it means in Pokemon)
[Yes, I don't know what TM means in this situation, please explain]
Comment 11 Nik Nikovsky 2025-09-05 18:25:07 UTC
After installing updates (which also had neon-ubuntu-advantage-tools-99+p24.04+vstable+git20250904.1337.all) and the error is gone, I am marking this as resolved.
