Ubuntu 24.04 install hangs

[adang1345]

Starting October 8, 2024, a hang is occurring during installation of Ubuntu 24.04. The workflow at https://github.com/adang1345/delvewheel/actions/runs/11243666402/job/31260089471 shows that the job hung for about 6 hours before the job timed out and was killed. See the relevant part of the log below.

I tried re-running the job a few times and clearing the GitHub Actions cache, but the hang happens in the same place. The run succeeded on September 30 with https://github.com/adang1345/delvewheel/actions/runs/11110554652/job/30868514229.

I don't think this has anything to do with this action actually.
The action calls ubuntu2404.exe install --root and that just hangs for you.
In the tests this works just fine as you can see at: https://github.com/Vampire/setup-wsl/actions/runs/11395517336/job/31707926655#step:3:21

We also experienced this in the following run: https://github.com/LegacyUpdate/LegacyUpdate/actions/runs/11144039923/job/30972218098

We're currently working on some other CI changes, so I'll try 24.04 again right after that. (edit: Blocked by #61)

Fixed, sorry

[adang1345]

The hang is no longer occurring for me.

Great, then I'll close this for now.
Feel free to comment if the problem comes back and seems to be related to the action.
