This is kind of a new droplet, it’s 24 days old but I created it from 3 years old snapshot :) it’s Ubuntu 14.04
@amanqour
If this is a new Droplet and there’s nothing important on it, you may want to destroy and recreate it. I’ve ran in to this a few times and that generally resolves the issue. It’s been a while since this has happened though. What version of Ubuntu are you deploying? (i.e. 14.04, 16.04, etc)
