[Bug 1570901] Re: Cd menu not booting to ubiquity try/install menu but always to live session

[Martin Pitt]

This regression was introduced by http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/6411.2.2 for bug 1567194.

This change both introduced the dependency cycle, it's pointless (as
After= does not do *anything* about starting new units), and thus it
does not actually fix bug 1567194. Thus for now I'm going to reopen the
latter and revert that change.

Ignore this part, that was just because I forgot "-enable-kvm".

> Also, keyboard and mouse are broken in the live session

I'm still trying to figure out this. Annoyingly it works if I use the
serial console (QEMU option "-serial stdio" and kernel option
"console=ttyS0"). In one boot I had X.org use VT1, which would collide
with getty on VT1 that we always start  (as in Debian/Ubuntu we usually
want the first X.org on VT7).

Interestingly, when I do that ubiquity.service actually does start, but
fails to connect to X:

But in this boot, the dependency cycle got broken at plymouth-quit-
wait.service instead of ubiquity.service, so this might all just be
weird fallout from this.

Indeed, if I boot with "maybe-ubiquity break=casper-bottom systemd
.debug-shell" and remove
/root/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service" in
initramfs before booting, then:

 -  the menu always appears
 - ubiquity-dm's X runs at VT1 ! (This explains keyboard/mouse failure, failure 
to start X and ubiquity-dm)
 - Corresponding to the above, there is an "xorg" process with an explicit 
"vt1" CLI argument, so this is not about auto-detection.
 - the dependency cycle is gone

So we either

 - need to teach ubiquity-dm to run X on VT7 instead of VT1, to not get in the 
way of gettys, or
 - Disable getty@ttyS1.service if it is *intended* to not have any gettys in 
ubiquity-dm. (But I wouldn't see a reason for that)

[Bug 1570901] Re: Cd menu not booting to ubiquity try/install menu but always to live session

[Martin Pitt]

I confirm that booting the current desktop image in QEMU (qemu-system-
x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom xenial-desktop-amd64.iso) takes reeeally long to
get to the live system and I never see the greeter.  Also, keyboard and
mouse are broken in the live session, and the load is at 6.

Going to VT1 and showing the journal shows that there is a dependency
cycle between plymouth, ubiquity, and getty, which prevents
ubiquity.service from starting:

  plymouth-quit-wait → ubiquity → getty.target → getty@tty1 → plymouth-
quit-wait

[sudodus]

Tim's observation "I am only getting the ubiquity greeter on about 1 in
3 boots, the rest of the time it boots straight through to the live
session" and an observation that I made running without quiet splash,
makes me think it is some kind of timeout or race condition.

I saw something counting down (in the text screen during booting. It
might make a difference if that countdown will finish or not, and I
think that things are faster without splash.

[Bug 1570901] Re: Cd menu not booting to ubiquity try/install menu but always to live session

[sudodus]

I tested Lubuntu xenial-desktop-amd64.iso  in UEFI mode (and booting via
grub from a cloned image via USB).

With the boot options 'quiet splash' the bug pushes to 'Try Lubuntu'
even when 'Install Lubuntu' was selected in the grub menu.

But without 'quiet splash', the system arrives at the 'Install Lubuntu'
desktop with Ubiquity and without the panel and icons. So with this
work-around the bug is grey, not red.

The reason for this comment is that many issues for DVD systems are also
found for cloned USB systems, while grub booted systems may behave in a
different way.

[Bug 1570901] Re: Cd menu not booting to ubiquity try/install menu but always to live session

[sudodus]

I think I understand now. VirtualBox (the main window) was running, when
I zsynced Lubuntu xenial-desktop-i386.iso in the host, and maybe it had
cached the old iso file. After restarting VirtualBox, I can indeed see
the bug - I cannot get to the scenario 'Install Lubuntu'.

And I think the reason for the result last night was that Lubuntu (the
daily iso files) were updated a few hours later than some other
flavours, and I happened to use the daily files, that were current, but
still before the bug appeared in Lubuntu.

I will hide my comments to avoid confusion

[sudodus]

And here is the screenshot for the 'Try Lubuntu' case.

Does this mean that Lubuntu i386 is not affected by this bug, at least
not when running in VirtualBox, and when booted from a cloned USB drive?

Or am I missing something? I know that you are very experienced testers,
so I suspect that I am not understanding this bug.

I tested with Lubuntu xenial-desktop-i386.iso in VirtualBox, and could
get to the following scenario by selecting 'Install Lubuntu'. As you can
see, there is no panel at the the bottom of the desktop.

This bug does not affect the current daily Lubuntu Xenial, neither i386
nor amd64, when booting from cloned images via USB.

The reason for this comment is that many issues for DVD systems are also
