We need it to generate a valid grub.cfg on the rootfs (similar to ubuntu-cpc) and then use that instead of a static configuration locked on the boot partition (LP: #1949102).

This bug was fixed in the package cloud-initramfs-tools - 0.45ubuntu2 --- cloud-initramfs-tools (0.45ubuntu2) focal; urgency=medium * When performing growroot, we don't need to perform a wait-for-root call as we already waited for the whole of udev to settle before that. This should help with weird cases where the device loses the ID_FS_TYPE property after growpart.

[Bug 1949102] Re: Preinstalled amd64 images cannot upgrade grub.cfg on boot partition + technical debt
I tested the https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily- preinstalled/20211102.1/ proposed image locally on a kvm and was able to get the image booting for the first time without an initramfs prompt and the rootfs has been expanded as expected. I saw no boot errors. I confirmed that the right version of cloud-initramfs-tools was used (0.45ubuntu2). Quoting Pierre Equoy regarding the testing of other bits: "We are happy to confirm that this image not only fixes the BusyBox screen issue we had with the previous image (20211101), but also both LP#1948885 (auto expand root partition) and LP#1948895 (cannot boot if a USB disk is present)! \o/" So I think we can consider this SRU to be verified. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-focal ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-focal ** Merge proposal linked: https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/cloud-initramfs-tools/+git/cloud-initramfs-tools/+merge/411155 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949102 Title: Preinstalled amd64 images cannot upgrade grub.cfg on boot partition + technical debt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/1949102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1949102] Re: Preinstalled amd64 images cannot upgrade grub.cfg on boot partition + technical debt
** Description changed: [Impact] This is a design flaw that needs to be fixed. Basically we inherited the design from old Ubuntu Core devices that the boot configuration is prepared in the gadget and - therefore - is quite static. Newer Core devices have mechanisms for updating boot assets, while classic images... well, we never actually thought about it. Now that we have a valid use-case for preinstalled amd64 images, we actually need to make sure we can update at least the grub config somehow. To do this, we introduce the hook from preinstalled desktop images from groovy+ with an additional change to generate the grub.cfg by using `update-grub2`. We switch the design to now only shipping a blanket grub.cfg on the boot partition, pointing to the rootfs one - which can be freely updated via existing mechanisms. While adding the hook, we also fix a few other technical dept - like adding a swap file and making the rootfs resizable. Everything that we already had for our Pi images in groovy+. The growroot part might also require a quick workaround in cloud- initramfs-tools. [Test Case] + * Base test case: + Build an image with -proposed enabled, make sure that it still boots as before on Intel IOT platforms. Try booting the image on an USB when there are other USB drives present on the device. + + * Growroot: + + Resize the image so that growroot finds space to expand the rootfs. Boot + the image, make sure that the image boots fine on first boot (no + initramfs prompt!). Log into the system and run `sudo udevadm info + /dev/sda3` and check if there are "ID_*" properties present. Check if + the root partition has expanded as expected. + + * Grub updates: + + On the booted image, run `sudo update-grub2`, make sure that there are no errors present. Reboot, check if the image still boots correctly. + To make sure the rootfs grub.cfg is used, modify /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_TIMEOUT to 10. Run `sudo update-grub2` again and reboot. Confirm that the grub menu appears with a 10 second timeout. + [Regression Potential] This can basically only regress intel-iotg desktop images, which is what we want to fix right now. But it requires for the images to go through the whole testing cycle again, to make sure that everything still works - since we're basically switching to a completely new grub.cfg. The test case should be sufficient to make sure there are no regressions. The cloud-initramfs-tools changes for growroot might, in some very weird way, break cloud image resizing. So it would be good to double check with the CPC team if images still work as expected with this change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949102 Title: Preinstalled amd64 images cannot upgrade grub.cfg on boot partition + technical debt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/1949102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
