Public bug reported: In certain scenarios, such as high load environments or when "systemctl daemon-reload" runs at the same time a dbus service is starting (e.g. systemd-logind), systemd is not able to track properly when the service has started, keeping the job 'running' forever.
The issue appears when systemd runs the "AddMatch" dbus method call to track the service's "NameOwnerChange" once it has already ran. A working instance would look like this: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/868J6WBRQx/ A failing instance would be: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/HhJZ4p8dT5/ I've been able to reproduce the issue on Bionic (237-3ubuntu10.42) running: sudo systemctl daemon-reload & sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: sts ** Tags added: sts ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896614 Title: Race condition when starting dbus services Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd source package in Bionic: New Bug description: In certain scenarios, such as high load environments or when "systemctl daemon-reload" runs at the same time a dbus service is starting (e.g. systemd-logind), systemd is not able to track properly when the service has started, keeping the job 'running' forever.
