[Bug 1902879] Re: slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update
Thank you Sebastien, I updated the title and description with the SRU information. Focal isn't impacted by this, no need to SRU there, it's only needed for bionic. ** Description changed: - Systemd 237-3ubuntu10.43 landed this week in Bionic, and it enforces - memory limits (LP: #1830746). + [Impact] + Systemd 237-3ubuntu10.43 landed this week in Bionic, and it enforces memory limits (LP: #1830746). This makes slick-greeter crash, which people observe as "black screen with blinking cursor". seb128 proposed that we need this commit backported: https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/commit/f9af95ea3f.patch Similar issues have also been discussed in LP: #1662244 and in https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/55. + + [Test case] + Try to boot with an up to date Ubuntu MATE 18.04 system, without having autologin enabled. A black screen with a blinking cursor will appear, instead of lightdm/slick-greeter. + + [Regression potential] + Low. It's an upstream patch that affects a specific small part of the code, which has been tested widely in more recent version of Ubuntu, like Bionic. I've also tested a package with this patch applied and it seems to work fine. ** Summary changed: - slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update + [SRU] slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902879 Title: [SRU] slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slick-greeter/+bug/1902879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

SRU uploaded to bionic, does anyone know if the same fix is needed for focal? Could you also add the SRU informations to the description?

I couldn't find the slick-greeter git sources in launchpad so I uploaded a patched version in https://code.launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+git/slick-greeter. I also used a recipe to build it, the updated packages are available in the Greek schools PPA if anyone needs them: https://code.launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902879 Title: slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slick-greeter/+bug/1902879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I verify that the patch that seb128 proposed solves the issue for slick-greeter. Should I link a branch with it applied, will it speed up the resolution of this issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902879 Title: slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slick-greeter/+bug/1902879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There was a similar issue in lightdm-gtk-greeter that got fixed in 20.10, we would need to check if the systemd SRU also triggers the bug on xubuntu in older stable series -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902879 Title: slick-greeter crashes after recent systemd update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slick-greeter/+bug/1902879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
