groovy hangs during boot on ESXi when the version is greater than
10. Adding a serial port by default fixes this specific bug - increasing
the HW version will be for another branch.
This is because more investigation is needed into whether it is possible to
increment ddb.virtualHWVersion without disrupting Oracle VirtualBox images.
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.
LP: #1901906
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.
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
version installed from the archives, however, with the inclusion in
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 1deb0c68e8be6b06190402e32292c3c55134eee2 &
6dbb30f53bd3f2086021abdecaee04645c9ccda0.
* "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.
