** Description changed: - After installing landscape, or otherwise configuring it, cloud-init - needs to restart the service. + === Begin SRU Information === + [Impact] + * When landscape-client is installed in an image (default for ubuntu cloud + images) there is a potential race where cloud-init will update the + /etc/landscape/client.conf after landscape-client has started. If it + does so, then landscape-client will not register until the next reboot. + * The fix here is simply to restart lanscape-client after writing config + + [Test Case] + * This is a race condition, so it will not always occur, but generally you + can see it by launching an Ubuntu cloud image, and providing it with + lanscape-client configuration like the user-data below, and then expecting + that system to correctly register itself. + #cloud-config + apt_upgrade: True + apt_sources: + - source: deb $MIRROR $RELEASE-proposed main + landscape: + client: + url: "https://landscape.canonical.com/message-system"; + ping_url: "http://landscape.canonical.com/ping"; + data_path: "/var/lib/landscape/client" + http_proxy: "http://my.proxy.com/foobar"; + tags: "server,cloud" + + [Regression Potential] + * landscape-client could not behave well when 'restart' is requested + right after it had started. If that was the case, this could result + in a race where the fix didn't actually accomplish what we wanted. + * There is very little potential for regression other than in the + case where the user was trying to register instance with landscape. + + === End SRU Information === + + + After installing landscape, or otherwise configuring it, cloud-init needs to restart the service.
