I confirm that every second $ systemctl restart dnsmasq hangs Also I confirm that removing squid resolved the situation.
I found that it does this: 1. /bin/sh /etc/init.d/dnsmasq systemd-stop-resolvconf 2. /bin/sh /etc/init.d/dnsmasq systemd-start-resolvconf Both will call hooks like: 0 0 11642 11634 20 0 4364 660 wait S ? 0:00 \_ run-parts --arg=-a --arg=lo.dnsmasq /etc/resolvconf/update.d 0 0 11659 11642 20 0 4364 664 wait S ? 0:00 \_ run-parts /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d 0 0 11672 11659 20 0 4504 704 wait S ? 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/squid 0 0 11673 11672 20 0 4504 1648 wait S ? 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d squid reload 4 0 11691 11673 20 0 24888 1388 poll_s S ? 0:00 \_ systemctl reload squid.service This is what actually times out - the squid hook. The "systemctl reload squid.service" call seems to take too long every second time?! A single "systemctl reload squid.service" for these seems to take ~100 seconds for me. OTOH a direct call to it is fast every time. This needs to be debugged in detail, but seems well reproducible. ** Also affects: dnsmasq (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Tags added: server-next ** Also affects: squid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: squid (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: squid (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: squid (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761096 Title: dnsmasq starts with error on Ubuntu Xenial amd64 when squid installed Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in squid package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in dnsmasq source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in squid source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Setup to reproduce: Ubuntu Xenial amd64 net install iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso Install system with mostly defaults + LVM + OpenSSH server Note that this bug applies to both DHCP and static IP+DNS network configurations Once server rebooted and is available, log in and install dnsmasq + squid: apt-get update && apt-get install squid dnsmasq output of this can be found at https://pastebin.com/9Atuipju journalctl -xe output at https://pastebin.com/uLhfM4jN Furthermore at this point I can run alternating errors root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq start ; date Wed Apr 4 09:18:07 CEST 2018 Wed Apr 4 09:18:07 CEST 2018 root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq stop ; date Wed Apr 4 09:18:39 CEST 2018 Wed Apr 4 09:18:39 CEST 2018 root@ubuntu-min:~# date ; service dnsmasq start ; date Wed Apr 4 09:19:10 CEST 2018 Job for dnsmasq.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
