Eh? That isn't at all what the patch does... Anyway, that patch only incidentally 'fixes' this, by changing the caller to use path_equals_ptr which null-checks; while a better commit is 105396778174a39bb04e9a78281ec7601e252d9f which fixes path_compare() itself (i.e. for all callers). -- 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/1959475 Title: "machinectl shell" connections immediately terminated Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] This bug prevents users on Impish and newer from connecting to Focal systemd containers using `machinectl shell`. This limits users ability to manage containers spawned with systemd-nspawn. [Test Plan] On a Jammy host, do the following: * Install systemd-container and debootstrap if necessary: $ sudo apt install debootstrap systemd-container * Create a Focal filesystem for the container: $ sudo debootstrap --arch=<arch> focal /var/lib/containers/lp1959475/ * Launch the container: $ sudo systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/containers/lp1959475/ --machine test-container * Inside the container, set a password for root and then exit: $ passwd # Enter password when prompted $ exit * Re-launch the container with -b option: $ sudo systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/containers/lp1959475/ --machine test-container -b * In a separate terminal window, try to connect to the container: $ sudo machinectl shell test-container * Observe the "Connection to machine test-container terminated" error message. [Where problems could occur] The patch expands the case where the TERM variable is inherited from PID 1 when building an execution environment, e.g. for a container. If problems were to occur, it would be related to the value of TERM in environments forked off of PID 1. [Other Info] This bug occurs when trying to connect to a Focal container from e.g. a Jammy host. For SRU verification, the container should be Focal, and the host should be Jammy. The -proposed package should be installed in the Focal container. [Original Description] The command "machinectl shell" does not work in systemd 249.9-0ubuntu2: $ sudo machinectl shell ns-xxx Connected to machine ns-xxx. Press ^] three times within 1s to exit session. Connection to machine ns-xxx terminated.
