Hello dana, or anyone else affected, Accepted systemd into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/237-3ubuntu10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768104 Title: systemd sometimes misdetects Xen VMs (fixed up-stream) Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in systemd source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in systemd source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * XEN virtualization missidentified as hyperv * This may cause units limited to a virtualisation not to be started; or redundant units for the other type of virtualisation to be started instead. * Previously xen & hyper-v were detected correctly separately, even when xen emulates/suggests that it is hyper-v. [Test Case] * Execute systemd-detect-virt and check that it detects Xen & Hyperv [Regression Potential] * Things that "fake" xen might not work as the detection code branches are changed, but it would affect previous releases and future releases of systemd-detect-virt. So far such things are not known to exist, and if such things appear in the future support for them would need to land upstream first. [Other Info] * Original bug report Cherrypick https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/f2fe2865cd19cd4318b82d01b9b62d22b1697b3a It appears that Xen-based VMs sometimes report themselves as Microsoft Hyper-V via CPUID — apparently this is for compatibility with Windows guests. systemd 237 (as found in Bionic) gives preference to this CPUID information when detecting Xen, and thus it erroneously assumes that the guest is running under Hyper-V. This causes Xen-related services (and anything else that relies on systemd's VM-detection functionality) to fail. I *believe* this is a regression from systemd 229 as used in Xenial — we have at least a few Xen-based VMs that report as Hyper-V via CPUID and don't have this issue on that version — but i haven't confirmed that for certain. Anyway, i've submitted a ticket with more details to the up-stream project, and that has now been resolved through a fairly simple change which applies cleanly to the Bionic systemd sources: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8844 Would it be possible to pull this down? As mentioned, Xen-based Ubuntu VMs can seriously misbehave without it. Thanks!
