** Description changed: [impact] boot-smoke test reboots 5 times and verifies systemd is fully started up after each boot, including checking if there are any running jobs (with list-jobs). However, this test makes the assumption that no further jobs will be started after systemd reaches 'running' (or 'degraded') state, which is a false assumption. [test case] see various boot-smoke failures in autopkgtest.ubuntu.com [regression potential] possible false-positive or false-negative autopkgtest results. [other info] The problem appears to be that systemd reaches 'running' (or 'degraded') state, and then other systemd services are started. This confuses the boot-smoke test, because it sees that 'is-system-running' is done, but then it sees running jobs, which fails the test. What is starting jobs after systemd reaches running state appears to be X inside the test system. There are various services started by gnome- session and dbus-daemon. Additionally, from the artifacts of one example: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest- bionic/bionic/i386/s/systemd/20190416_171327_478f6@/artifacts.tar.gz the artifacts/journal.txt shows that after the boot-smoke test causes the reboot and then re-ssh into the system after the reboot, it only gives the test system 9 seconds before deciding it has failed, and only 4 seconds after ssh'ing into the rebooted test system. - The timeout waiting for is-system-running is actually probably fine; - what is needed is another timeout while checking list-jobs, after we - know that the system is running. Another timeout should let any new - jobs started after we reached running complete. + Another wait is needed when checking for remaining running jobs. Or, + the running jobs check could be removed entirely, and we can just trust + that systemd correctly knows when it has reached running|degraded state.
