This is a regular xenial cloud image. 19:51:13 systemd-tmpfiles[485]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:14] Duplicate line for path "/var/log", ignoring. ... 19:51:13 systemd[1]: Starting Set console font and keymap... 19:51:15 setupcon[455]: /bin/setupcon: 809: /bin/setupcon: cannot open /tmp/tmpkbd.a8FGSs: No such file 19:51:15 systemd[1]: console-setup.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE 19:51:15 systemd[1]: Failed to start Set console font and keymap. 19:51:15 systemd[1]: console-setup.service: Unit entered failed state. 19:51:15 systemd[1]: console-setup.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. ... /bin/setupcon has a lovely tempfile function that looks like: if \ TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/tmpkbd.XXXXXX 2>/dev/null` \ || TMPFILE=`mktemp /run/tmpkbd.XXXXXX 2>/dev/null` \ || TMPFILE=`mktemp /dev/.tmpkbd.XXXXXX 2>/dev/null` \ || TMPFILE=`mktemp /lib/init/rw/tmpkbd.XXXXXX 2>/dev/null` \ || TMPFILE=`mktemp 2>/dev/null` Here's our edited IRC conversation on the bug: <@vorlon> so I do think you're being hit by the tmp cleaner <@vorlon> also this seems like bad pathological default behavior for the tmp cleaner, to delete files that have just been created <@vorlon> but we should fix console-setup to not rely on /tmp <@vorlon> and I prefer that we do that instead of trying to fiddle with the ordering of the systemd units on startup <@vorlon> i.e. console-setup has an undeclared dependency on systemd-tmpfiles-clean; let's remove the dependency instead of declaring it <@vorlon> are you failing the race more often now than in the past? <@rcj> vorlon: it feels like it's failing more often but I don't have data to answer that. <@vorlon> are we shipping an image with a dirty rootfs? <@vorlon> dirty in the sense that e2fsck doesn't take one look at it, say "yep, nothing to do here" and exit <@vorlon> in the sense that this is what would make dev-sda1.device slow to complete AIUI <@rcj> would filesystem resize on first boot mark it dirty? Because that will happen <@vorlon> huh good question <@vorlon> it might <xnox> rcj, unclean shutdown? <@rcj> xnox: first boot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: console-setup 1.108ubuntu15.4 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 4.15.0-1029.31~16.04.1-gcp 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-1029-gcp x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.18 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Apr 10 19:24:12 2019 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: console-setup UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1824227/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
