The Ubuntu Pi images are modified Ubuntu Cloud images and as such they use cloud-init for their initial configuration. On the very first boot, there's quite a bit more output than this (from cloud-init) confirming it's created users, imported SSH keys, or whatever else it's been set up to do (via user-data on the boot partition). However, on subsequent boots it also outputs these lines indicating that it's run but had nothing to do (cloud-init can be set to run things on subsequent boots but doesn't by default).
I don't know the reason for this specifically, but I'd hazard a guess that the fact it's on the console would be for debugging reasons. For the very first boot it's actually rather useful given that getty (the process that produces the login prompt) typically executes *before* cloud-init completes and thus the cloud-init output serves to prompt when the initial user has been created (permitting login). However, on subsequent boots it is (at least superficially) needless output. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929802 Title: Log information on ubuntu login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1929802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
