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)
LP: #1893898 describes missing vmtools version from the vmdk headers.
The version should be added as ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" however
the sed was no longer replacing a ddb.comment field with the tools
version. Rather than subbing ddb.comment with toolsVersion, this commit
deletes ddb.comment (which the comment mentions could cause errors),
and adds the correct value. There was no visibility into the descriptor
during hook creation, so debug statements were added. This allows us to
quickly verify in the logs that bad statements are removed (the possibly
offending commetns), as well as ensuring that the toolsVersion is added

When desktop-preinstalled image options were added in
38157b37487d244b27af33f7863e6b15253c8f94, 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 38157b37487d244b27af33f7863e6b15253c8f94 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.
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
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.

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 &

* "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.
