All the failure traces seem to be stating that autopilot wouldn't be able to launch the application. In case of eg address-book-app once a test fails, all subsequent tests fail too. In case of eg UITK, it's just that random tests fail.
Here's a simplified test case: while [ 1 ] ; do phablet-test-run ubuntuuitoolkit.tests.custom_proxy_objects.test_header.SectionsTestCase.test_select_sections_with_sections_disabled ; done When the failure happens, the application seems to start fine, but autopilot thinks it did not. After waiting for some while (~38 seconds as opposed to ~6 seconds on successful run) it errors out. Without silo 018 the above test case never fails. ** Attachment added: "testfail.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1421009/+attachment/4355569/+files/testfail.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to libusermetrics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1421009 Title: unity8 sometimes hangs on boot Status in autopilot package in Ubuntu: New Status in libusermetrics package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The following gdbus call is failing with a "Error: Timeout was reached" message: gdbus call --session --dest com.canonical.UnityGreeter --object-path / --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get com.canonical.UnityGreeter IsActive This is being seen on krillin devices starting with image 106 from ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed. It doesn't happen every time, so far today, I've seen it 3 times from about 12 tests. On the most recent failure, I grabbed a console and tried repeatedly to run the command from the shell, even after 2 hours the timeout was still being returned (after about 28 seconds). A copy of ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10179482/ I have 3 test cases where the problem was observed: http://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/vivid-boottest-qtchooser/1/console http://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/vivid-boottest-gsettings-ubuntu-touch-schemas/1/console http://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/fjg-boottest/3/console In all cases, the test is using adt-run (from autopkgtest) to drive a test on the phone device. adt-run uses the above gdbus call to determine if the desktop is active. In all the examples, the device was freshly flashed.
