Bug Description
[Impact]
Regression in console-setup 1.108ubuntu15.1 in xenial-proposed which introduced a dependency loop caused logins to fail in around 10% of boots.
[Test case]
1) reboot
2) attempt to login
In the failure case, the system will display an error message:
"System is booting up. See pam_nologin(8)."
[Regression Potential]
This is intended to fix a regression already found in xenial-proposed due to dependencies in the systemd units. Other ordering issues may arise, such that it is possible for another process to otherwise fail to load because of the invalid dependencies between systemd jobs. Care is to be taken in testing the proposed fix, and involves many reboot tests.
---
On login screen (LightDM) I cant login to system because system error is displayed: System is booting up. See pam_nologin(8). This message is appearing randomly, sometimes when I boot system I can login and sometimes not. It starts to show after last console-
