** Description changed: [impact] boot-smoke test reboots 5 times and verifies systemd is fully started up after each boot, including checking if there are any running jobs (with list-jobs). However, this test makes the assumption that no further jobs will be started after systemd reaches 'running' (or 'degraded') state, which is a false assumption. [test case] see various boot-smoke failures in autopkgtest.ubuntu.com [regression potential] possible false-positive or false-negative autopkgtest results. [other info] - The problem appears to be that systemd reaches 'running' (or 'degraded') - state, and then other systemd services are started. This confuses the - boot-smoke test, because it sees that 'is-system-running' is done, but - then it sees running jobs, which fails the test. + Note: This patch is not required for debian, because debian's boot-smoke + does not include the wait for systemctl is-system-running. + + + The problem appears to be that systemd reaches 'running' (or 'degraded') state, and then other systemd services are started. This confuses the boot-smoke test, because it sees that 'is-system-running' is done, but then it sees running jobs, which fails the test. What is starting jobs after systemd reaches running state appears to be X inside the test system. There are various services started by gnome- session and dbus-daemon. Additionally, from the artifacts of one example: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest- bionic/bionic/i386/s/systemd/20190416_171327_478f6@/artifacts.tar.gz the artifacts/journal.txt shows that after the boot-smoke test causes the reboot and then re-ssh into the system after the reboot, it only gives the test system 9 seconds before deciding it has failed, and only 4 seconds after ssh'ing into the rebooted test system. Another wait is needed when checking for remaining running jobs. Or, the running jobs check could be removed entirely, and we can just trust that systemd correctly knows when it has reached running|degraded state.
