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 [Test case] 1. Install console-setup from -proposed 2. Reboot 3. Verify that `systemctl status console-setup` shows that the service has completed successfully. Since this is a race, additional fuzz testing may be warranted for the cloud images to confirm that the issue experienced in GCE is really fixed. However, that should not block promotion of this SRU fix since there definitely is a race here that should be fixed per se even if there are other issues still causing a failure in GCE. [Regression potential] None known. /run is guaranteed to be mounted rw very early in boot - generally before /tmp is mounted, due to /tmp being on the rootfs that needs to be fscked before remount.
