Public bug reported: New GCP dailies are failing startup-script tests, due to network not being fully set up when startup scripts are run. The failure can be reproduced as follows:
Using startup_script.sh: #!/bin/bash cp /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/startup-sources.list $ gcloud compute instances create startup-test --image daily-ubuntu-2204-jammy-v20240314 --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud-devel --metadata-from-file=startup-script=startup_script.sh [...] $ ssh [INSTANCE IP] > diff /tmp/startup-sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list 0a1,8 > ## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance > ## modifications made here will not survive a re-bundle. > ## if you wish to make changes you can: > ## a.) add 'apt_preserve_sources_list: true' to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg > ## or do the same in user-data > ## b.) add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d > ## c.) make changes to template file /etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.tmpl > 3,4c11,12 < deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted < # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted --- > deb http://us-central1.gce.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted > # deb-src http://us-central1.gce.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main > restricted 8,9c16,17 < deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted < # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted --- [...] On earlier images (such as ubuntu-2204-jammy-v20240307 in ubuntu-os-cloud) do not show this behaviour. The change is due to a change in ubuntu-pro 31 (see https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/blob/dfe1f1ed4678c50240d4e251f41d33bb4034135e/debian/changelog#L40 for details) that removes a systemd ordering on cloud-config.service. As side effect of this change was the removal of cloud-config.service (and ubuntu-advantage.service) from systemd's critical chain. On v20240307 (startup scripts execute correctly): catred@startup-test-control:~$ systemd-analyze critical-chain google-startup-scripts.service The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
