Hi Marek,

Hi,

sorry for the delay

I used the following line in local.conf and the firstboot worked:
IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND:remove = "systemd_preset_all;"

But doesn't that also inhibit the rootfs-time preset-all ? I would like to keep that, I just need for the systemd firstboot units to run on first boot to do first boot system setup things, which they won't without the 'uninitialized' in /etc/machine-id .


1) Lacking of /etc/machine-id file also triggers firstboot.

2) systemd firstboot does 'preset-all'. If you enable firstboot, then you don't need rootfs-time preset-all.

Regards,

Qi

Hi,

This patch is forcing systemd to do preset-all at boot time (first
boot) in a function that simulates 'preset-all' at rootfs time.

If we look at the comments above the changed line, we can see that the
/etc/machine-id file was deliberately created as empty, for the
purpose of making systemd not treat the system as first boot.
"""
      # If we populate the systemd links we also create
/etc/machine-id, which
      # allows systemd to boot with the filesystem read-only before
generating
      # a real value and then committing it back.
      #
      # For the stateless configuration, where /etc is generated at
runtime
      # (for example on a tmpfs), this script shouldn't run at all and
we
      # allow systemd to completely populate /etc.
"""

I'm going to send out a patch to revert this patch.

Hmmm, the problem is that without this patch, systemd firstboot does not work and I would like to use that. How can we accommodate both options, i.e. no breakage for you and working systemd-firstboot ?
