[Bug 1766872] Re: 'Enable Network' in recovery mode not working properly.

 

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * network menu in recovery mode doesn't work correctly, blocking at
  starting systemd services depends to enable networking.
  
  [Test Case]
  
   * Boot w/ Xenial or Bionic in recovery mode via grub
   * Choose "network" in friendly-recovery menu
  
   The network won't be activated and it'll be stuck at systemd-tty-ask-
  password :
  
  # pstree
  systemd-+-bash---pstree
          |-recovery-menu---network---systemctl---systemd-tty-ask
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
-  * Low, we have tested differents scenarios and everything reported fine so far.
+  * Low.
   * 'resume' option fails to 'resume' boot now, but I think it can still be fix later on as the system can be rebooted with other alternatives such as entering the 'root' option and reboot or reset, poweroff the machines, instances, ...  I think it's more important to have a network working in friendly-recovery than being able to resume it at the moment. The tradeoff is worth it IMHO.
  * All other options works fine as expected.

  Revision  154 to 161
  
  [Original Description]
  
  This bug has been noticed after the introduction of the fix of (LP:
  #1682637) in Bionic.
  
  I have notice a block in Bionic when choosing 'Enable Network' option in
  recovery mode on different bionic vanilla system and I can reproduce all
  the time.
  
  I also asked colleagues to give it a try (for a second pair of eye on
  this) and they have the same result as me.
  
  Basically, when choosing 'Enable Network' it get block or lock.
  If we hit 'ctrl-c', then a shell arrive and the system has network connectivity.
  
  Here's what I find while enabling "systemd.debug-shell=1" from vtty9 :
  
  # pstree
  systemd-+-bash---pstree
          |-recovery-menu---network---systemctl---systemd-tty-ask
          |-systemd-journal
          ....
  
  # ps
  root 486 473 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent
  
  root 473 486 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 systemctl start dbus.socket
  
  root 486 283 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /lib/recovery-
  mode/options/network
  
  Additionally,
  
  systemd-analyze blame:
  "Bootup is not yet finished. Please try again later"
  
  "systemctl list-jobs" is showing a 100 jobs in 'waiting' state
  
  The only 'running' unit is friendly-recovery.service :
  52 friendly-recovery.service                 start running
  
  The rest are all "waiting". My understanding is that "waiting" units
  will be executed only after those which are "running" are completed.
  Which explain why the "ctlr-c" allow the boot to continue.
  
  All the systemd special unit important at boot-up are waiting.
  7 sysinit.target                 start waiting
  3 basic.target                   start waiting
  .....
  
  Seems like systemd is not fully initialise in 'Recovery Mode' and
  doesn't allow any 'systemctl start' operation without
  password/passphrase request, which I suspect is hidden by the recovery-
  mode menu.
