Package: console-setup
Version: 1.226
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
On occasion I have a situation where console-setup.service fails to
start up due to a race condition. After investigating this, it was
already reported in Ubuntu back in 2019 and I have verified that the
patch they have implemented resolves the issue for me:
admin@boxpc001-a8f7693fbff14940ade0e3247b1cea8e:~$ for s in $(systemctl
list-units --type service --full --failed --plain --no-legend | cut -f 1 -d '
'); do journalctl --boot --no-pager --unit "${s}"; done
