Disabling fprintd.service prevents boot.
System: Ubuntu Desktop 22.04
Behavior: Rebooting immediately after disabling and masking
fprintd.service, fails.
A series of [DEPEND] messages scroll past in tty1 early in the boot
process, too quickly to read but that appear to be mount units failing
for want of a dependency. Consistently, the last message to appear in
tty1 is:
[ OK ] Reached Target Printer Support
Expected behavior: No disruption in boot process from the deletion of
an irrelevant service for which no hardware exists.
Unfortunately, no further information is available because the machine resists
booting.
- While booted to a separate partition, I deleted the symlink in
/etc/systemd/system to /dev/null, but boot failed thereafter in the same way.
- I chrooted into the partition to attempt to re-enable the unit but the
command failed by reason of being in a chroot environment.
- The partition's syslog has no entries containing DEPEND, probably because
they occurred before rsyslog could receive input from the kernel ring buffer.
