There are a slew of bugs and apparently random fallout of /dev/console not working. In my opinion, its really *not* helpful to just ignore that 'write' to stdout fails. Ignoring errors is never really a solution. In this case, cloud-init may have specifically opened /dev/console. But in other cases, it just writes to its stdout or stderr. It does not know that that output is destined for /dev/console or a file, and should not just ignore the errors.
The real fix for this is to fix the kernel or the OS in some way so that writes to /dev/console always succeed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473527 Title: module ssh-authkey-fingerprints fails Input/output error: /dev/console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1473527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
