That means there are no open UDP connected sockets in the system at the
moment you  run ss -u. I forgot to specify you must add also the '-a'
command line option to the 'ss' tool to show all udp sockets regardless
theis state:

ss -ua

Anyway this issue looks quite similar to:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196469

Which contains some more information. I suggest to follow-up on such
bz.
