armhf & arm64 images use grub. And despite disk-image &
disk-image-uefi installing all the grubs, some of the configuration is
done in the 999-cpc-fixes. Specifically removal of "quiet splash" is
done there, but not active on armhf & arm64. This results in arm
images to boot with "quiet splash".
Enable running the later portions of 999-cpc-fixes on armhf & arm64.
Drop duplicate call to update-grub, as update-grub2 is simply a
symlink to update-grub.
Add a guard around the call to reconfigure grub-pc, to only do that
when it is installed.
This makes armhf & arm64 uefi images consistent with amd64 uefi
images.

With that, the Dockerfile modifications[0] currently done externally
are done now here. That means that the created rootfs tarball can be
directly used within a Dockerfile to create a container from scratch:
FROM scratch
ADD livecd.ubuntu-oci.rootfs.tar.gz /
CMD ["/bin/bash"]
[0]
https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/blob/master/update.sh
This is a copy of the ubuntu-base project.
Currently ubuntu-base is used as a base for the docker/OCI container
images. The rootfs tarball that is created with ubuntu-base is
published under [0]. That tarball is used in the FROM statement of the
Dockerfile as base and then a couple of modifications are done inside
of the Dockerfile[1].
The ubuntu-oci project will include the changes that are currently
done in the Dockerfile. With that:
1) a Dockerfile using that tarball will be just a 2 line thing:
FROM scratch
ADD ubuntu-hirsute-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz /
CMD ["/bin/bash"]
2) Ubuntu has the full control about the build process of the
docker/OCI container. No external sources (like [1]) need to be
modified anymore.
3) Ubuntu can publish containers without depending on the official
dockerhub containers[2]. Currently the containers for the AWS ECR
registry[3] use as a base[4] the official dockerhub containers. That's
no longer needed because a container just needs a Dockerfile described
in 1)
When the ubuntu-oci project has the modifications from [1] included,
we'll also update [1] to use the ubuntu-oci rootfs tarball as a base
and drop the modifications done at [1].
Note: Creating a new ubuntu-oci project instead of using ubuntu-base
will make sure that we don't break users who are currently using
ubuntu-base rootfs tarballs for doing their own thing.

One can call divert_grub; replace_kernel; undivert_grub. And
replace_kernel will call into force_boot_without_initramfs, which
under certain conditions can call divert_grub &
undivert_grub. Resulting in undivert_grub called twice in a row.
When undivert_grub is called twice in a row it wipes
systemd-detect-virt binary from disk, as the rm call is unguarded to
check that there is something to divert if systemd package is
installed. And if the systemd package is not installed, it does not
check that systemd-detect-virt file is in-fact what divert_grub has
created.
Add a guard to check that systemd-detect-virt is the placeholder one,
before removing it.

The case is for arch:subarch combo, not just arch alone even if
subarch is empty. Thus currently on adm64/arm64/armhf ubuntu-cpc
builds mbr image is created and then ignored, as the convert to qcow2
hook prefers the uefi image whenever available.
Skipping building these correctly, should speed up the build a little
bit and use slightly less disk space.
shim-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64-signed, which in turn has
alternative depends on either `grub-efi-amd64 | grub-pc`. However to
support booting with either via shim&signed-grub and BIOS, the choice
must be made to install grub-pc, not grub-efi-amd64.
This makes images consistent with Ubuntu Deskop, Live Server, buildd
bootable images; all of which already do install grub-pc and
shim-signed.

vmtools version in vmdk header (LP: #1893898)

When desktop-preinstalled image options were added in
38157b3748, for the raspi subarch, the
options listed there were not scoped for raspi subarch. This results
in those options getting also applied for the HYPERV
ubuntu:desktop-preinstalled image.
Thus scope the newly added options under raspi subarch case only.
Regression introduced in 38157b3748 when
desktop-preinstalled code branch was added, it dropped addint
ubuntu-desktop task. Instead it added ubuntu-desktop-raspi task, only
for the raspi subarch, which depends on ubuntu-desktop. But the hyperv
case, now ended up without ubuntu-desktop task.
It looks like introduction of "desktop-preinstalled" assumed, that it
is for raspi only, when in fact that code path now started to be used
for hyperv gallery image too.
The CPC build hooks for amd64 incorrectly attempt to install shim-signed
in addition to grub-efi-amd64 and grub-pc. These latter two packages
conflict with each other. Instead shim-signed should install whatever
packages are required.
Additionally, this will ensure that autoremove is run after installing
anything in the CPC build hooks. This is done to avoid shipping images
that include packages that are autoremovable. This will clean-up as
packages are installed and detect any breakage at build time.
Multipass on Mac OS X requires standalone kernel and initrd artifacts
to boot.
Also call update-initramfs on all installed kernels. We only have one
kernel installed, so we don't need to specify an explicit version.
There was a question on if the comment removals in the `sed` were
required. The comments (`#`) are created by vmdk-stream-converter and
seem to cause no issues. `ddb.comment` is no longer being written by the
tool anymore. Moved the check earlier to ensure the new header isn't too
large before running truncate (otherwise it may be too long, and we
remove bits we want)

virtualbox-guest-utils kernel modules is included in linux-modules
starting in kernel 5.4.0-33 in focal-updates. The vagrant hook also
explicit installed virtualbox-guest-utils. An error occurred with the

linux-modules, there's no need to explicitly install
virtualbox-guest-utils. Removes the code for the explicit install.

Original fix proposed by Stanislav German-Evtushenko (giner)
CPC Ubuntu cloud images default to enabling a serial console connection
via the kernel commandline option `console=ttyS0`. Many clouds support
the serial connection, and utilize it for debugging purposes. Virtualbox
supports the serial connection as well. In Bionic and earlier images,
Vagrant boxes created a serial log file in the directory of the
Vagrantfile by default. However this is not standard behaviour for
Vagrant images, and so it was removed in Eoan onwards.
Starting in Eoan, there were reports of image booting slowdown (1874453
is a single example). After testing, it was determined that the serial
connection starting, without a device attached, was the cause of the
slow down. However, we did not want to revert to the old functionality
of creating a file. Much thanks to <giner> for providing the Ruby syntax
for sending to File::NULL.
This option will not create a local file, however, the default
Vagrantfile configuration is overwritable via a users Vagrantfile. The
original syntax for creating a file local to the users Vagrantfile has
been included as an example.
These introduced a regression for ppc64el and needs more time to bake.
This reverts commits 1deb0c68e8 &
6dbb30f53b.
* "ubuntu-cpc: Fix ppc64el grub console update"
* "ubuntu-cpc: Disable boot splash in all cloud images (LP: #1725358)"
The commit 6dbb30f5 (2.682) which disabled boot splash for all cloud
images introduced an error in the ppc64el hook. This patch corrects the
name of the variable that contains grub console overrides. The error
seen during testing was
'disk-image-ppc64el.binary: line 44: CONSOLES: unbound variable'
and this was due to a typo.
When trying to debug an issue on ARM64 it was reported that it was
quite difficult to debug because of control codes on the console from
the splash.
For cloud image there is a chroot customization the drops 'quiet splash'
but this is only applied to amd64. It hasn't made it into other
architectures because they don't have grub by default in the chroot.
However, when we get into binary hook for the uefi disk image and it's
derivatives grub is installed and this includes architectures that were
skipped in the chroot hook.
This patch changes the cpc-fixes chroot hook to add a cloud-images
grub config with basic overrides, including dropping the boot splash,
for all architectures. For images that never get grub installed this
addition is harmless and small while ensuring that the grub experience
is consistent for images that have grub. The configuration of console
devices as hard-coded remains arch specific.
The seed now specifies the lxd snap in focal as
'lxd=4.0/stable/ubuntu-20.04' which doesn't match the expectations of
the code with looks for lxd as the only snap in the seed for minimized
images. This patch updates the pattern to accept 'lxd' or 'lxd=*'.
In v2.672 the default boot behavior of cloud images changed:
- Prior to v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel attempt
to boot without an initramfs, would fail, and then retry with an
initramfs.
- After v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel boot with
an initramfs on the first try.
While the behavior is different between the two, they both result in
an instance that has booted with an initramfs. To ensure the changes
in v2.672 do not regress, we need an automated way to check if we are
attempting to boot without an initramfs and failing.
With this change, when we attempt to boot with an initramfs and fail,
initrdless_boot_fallback_triggered is set to non-zero in the grubenv.
This value can be checked after boot by looking in /boot/grub/grubenv
or by using the grub-editenv list command.
Builds in LP with the Xenial kernel were happy with the recursive mount of
/sys inside the chroot while performing snap-preseeding but autopkgtests
with the groovy kernel failed. With the groovy kernel the build was
unable to unmount sys/kernel/slab/*/cgroup/* (Operation not permitted).
This patch mounts /sys and /sys/kernel/security in the chroot in the
same way we've added for binary hooks. This provides the paths under
/sys needed for snap-preseed while avoiding issues unmounting other
paths.
The snap-preseed command can do a number of things during the build
that are currently performed at first boot (apparmor profiles, systemd
unit generation, etc). This patch adds a call to reset the seeding and
apply these optimizations when adding a seeded snap. As a prerequisite
to calling snap-preseed we need to make /dev/mem available as well as
mounts from the host to perform this work, so those are also added here.
I recently pulled initramfs logic out of the base build hook, and
dropped that into the `replace_kernel` function. Any cloud image that
does not leverage the generic virtual kernel was expected to call
`replace_kernel` to pull in a custom kernel. That function will
disable initramfs boot for images that use a custom kernel.
Minimal cloud images on amd64 use the linux-kvm kernel, but the build
hook does not utilize the `replace_kernel` function. Instead, the
kernel flavor is set in `auto/config`. I pulled that logic out of
`auto/config` and am now calling `replace_kernel` in the build hook.
I also moved a call to generate the package list so that it will pick
up the change to the linux-kvm kernel.
snap_name[/classic]=track/risk/branch is now the supported snap name
specification, which allows to specify the full default track and
optional classic confinemnt.
Supporting such specification in the seedtext allows one to specify a
better default channel. For example, this will allow lxd to switch
from latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 to 4.0/stable/ubuntu-20.04 as 4.0 is
the LTS track matching 20.04 support timeframe.
LP: #1882374
Initramfs-less boot, which is a boot optimization, should only be
applied where we know it could work for users and provide an improved
boot boot experience; images with custom kernels are candidates for
that.
Generic cloud images with the linux-generic kernel are not able to
boot without an initramfs. Previously, these images attempted to boot
without an initramfs, would fail, and then retry with an initramfs.
This slows the boot and is confusing behavior.
It was reported and confirmed in LP bug #1875400
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1875400) that on the public
KVM cloud image there exists a large list of packages marked for auto-removal.
This should never be the case on a released cloud image.
These packages are marked for auto-removal because in the KVM image binary hook
we removed both initramfs-tools and busybox-initramfs packages. Due to package
dependencies this also removed:
busybox-initramfs* cloud-initramfs-copymods* cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf*
cryptsetup-initramfs* initramfs-tools* initramfs-tools-core* multipath-tools*
overlayroot* sg3-utils-udev* ubuntu-server*
But it did not remove all the packages that the above list depended on.
This resulted in all those packages being marked for auto-removal because they
were not manually installed nor did they have any manually installed packages
that depended on them.
The removal of initramfs-tools and busybox-initramfs was to avoid the
generation of initramfs in images that should boot initramfsless.
This requirement is obsolete now because the initramfsless boot handling
is now handled via setting GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID in /etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg.
In test images I have verified that GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID is set and that
boot speeds have not regressed.
LP: #1875400
Vagrant images were previously put at 10G, but this was a regression
from Trusty, in which they were 40G. This made it a tough sell for
users to upgrade if they were using a Ubuntu desktop experience.
This change does not impact disk usage as Vagrant with the virtualbox
provider dynamically allocates space with the VMDK. On a test system,
the VMDK took up 1.1G of disk space according to df, and after
creating a 2G file in Vagrant, the VMDK grew to 3.1G.
Therefore, users who are running on a system with little free space will
not see adverse effects if they upgrade to a new vagrant image
Seeing any snap via snap_preseed will evaluate the base for each snap
and seed the appropriate base. There should be no reason to explicitly
seed the 'core' snap and with snaps moving to 'core18' this will add
'core' without need.
The _snap_post_process function is meant to install snapd if core18 is the
only core snap installed or removed snapd if core is installed and snapd
was not explicitly installed. But the current logic in _snap_preseed
will never call _snap_post_process. $core_name will never be empty
with the existing logic, but even if it were that would only be for the
'core' snap and we'd miss using the 'core18' logic that pulls in snapd.
Given the case statement in _snap_post_process can handle doing the
right thing given any snap we can just call it unconditionally.
In the buildd image chroot, /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to
a configuration file in the /run directory. A call to truncate will
modify that file, which we should not do. Instead, we want to remove
the symbolic link and replace it with an empty file.
The base image is built with packages from the release pocket; however,
we want the latest from updates and security. Those pockets are already
enabled, we just need to perform an upgrade to pull in the latest
packages.
Back in 2017 some code was added to ignore failures tearing down loop
devices. But debugging that growpart race on cloud images made me (very)
aware of a potential cause of the race: doing something like zerofree on
a device will cause udev scripts to run, and if they are still running
by the time kpartx is called, you would expect the kpartx -d to fail. So
lets see if a udevadm settle helps, and get rid of one of the "sometimes
this fails but we don't know why" comments...
