From the SOS report issue presents on image with this build-info with whatever additional OEM config is presented as autoinstall-user-data
Ubuntu OEM 24.04.1 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20240911) I'm trying to download latest Ubuntu Desktop noble to reproduce this problem from live Desktop installer images dated Sept 19th and not seeing the ordering cycle issues on stock daily Desktop noble images. How is this reproducible? In the meantime, from sos logs I see the following: 1. the Desktop installer ephemeral boot stage successfully ran all 4 boot stages (init-local, init, config-modules and config-final) of cloud-init during init as seen in the sos report's var/log/installer/cloud-init.log and cloud-init-output.log. So, this means no ordering cycle present in initial unaltered Desktop images as that would have kicked out Network-Manager-wait-online.service or dbus.service 2. I see ./sos_commands/logs/journalctl_--no-pager which shows the ordering cycle issues in the first of two boots which ejects Network- Manager-wait-online and dbus.service from boot goals on the first boot. 3. I'm not seeing those journal entries mentioned in this bug related to ordering cycles in var/log/installer/installer-journal.txt in the installer ephemeral boot stage which means this problem doesn't seem to affect the unaltered installer environment before "first boot" occurs. 4. Unrelated to this specific bug, we will need a separate bug as a see an undetected systemd ordering cycle in the Desktop ephemeral environment related only to cloud-init-hotplugd.socket in desktop images: From var/log/installer/installer-journal.txt: sockets.target: Job cloud-init-hotplugd.socket/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with sockets.target/start 5. I see some APT package installs in sos report var/log/apt/history.log for pkgs for which may or may not have added additional systemd units which could contribute to ordering cycle issues if they also add sytemd units and ordering dependencies - Commandline: apt-get install --assume-yes --install-suggests oem-nantou-meta desktop-provision-hp - Commandline: apt install nvidia-driver-550 Do we know of oem-nantou-meta desktop-provision-hp or nvidia-driver-550 deliver systemd units or services? #4 warrants a separate bug that I shall file after finishing triage on this issue cloud-init hotplug support is optional and opt-in and not generally involved in the default install and configuration of Desktop or server images so this wouldn't be what's breaking OEM installs (but it's a symptom of other ordering problems that need attention in Desktop images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081124 Title: systemd service dependency loop between cloud-init, NetworkManager and dbus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2081124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
