2018-12-13 13:31:24 Balint Reczey description The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding unattended-upgrades. This problem was most recently seen with package version 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/caf5d885046359f4857cee6c4a61e1d72d0913b1 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports. If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. [Impact] * Unattended-upgrades.service may crash due to starting earlier than dbus and logind are up or due to logind failing to start. * Unattended-upgrades.service not starting prevents installation of upgrades on shutdown (when u-u is configured to do that) and also prevents gracefully stopping running u-u _before_ shutdown as implemented in LP: #1803137. U-u is still stopped gracefully after the shutdown transaction is started, but that may let service restarts hang the upgrade process. * The fix is adding an After service dependency on systemd-logind to ensure starting u-u.service after logind at least tried to start and also changing u-u-s to start even with logind's absence. [Test Case] * Stop systemd-logind and make it unable to start for example by masking it: root@bb-logind:~# ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service root@bb-logind:~# rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-logind root@bb-logind:~# systemctl daemon-reload root@bb-logind:~# service systemd-logind stop root@bb-logind:~# service systemd-logind status ● systemd-logind.service Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2018-12-13 13:02:44 UTC; 1s ago Main PID: 1938 (code=killed, signal=TERM) Status: "Processing requests..." ... * Run u-u-s and observe it crashing in unfixed version and starting with falling back to polling logind instead taking the inhibition lock at its start. * Restore logind's ability to start * Restart unattended-upgrades.service root@bb-logind:~# systemctl daemon-reload root@bb-logind:~# service unattended-upgrades restart root@bb-logind:~# service unattended-upgrades status ● unattended-upgrades.service - Unattended Upgrades Shutdown Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-12-13 13:08:13 UTC; 16s ago Docs: man:unattended-upgrade(8) Main PID: 2079 (unattended-upgr) Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/unattended-upgrades.service └─2079 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown --wait-for-signal Dec 13 13:08:13 bb-logind systemd[1]: Started Unattended Upgrades Shutdown. root@bb-logind:~# systemd-analyze dot | grep unattended ...
