[Bug 1890394] Re: Lightdm-gtk-greeter coredump during boot with recent systemd versions

 

Hello tested on Focal:

linux 5.4.0-53-generic
systemd 245.4ubuntu3.3
lightdm 1.30.0-0ubuntu3.1
lightdm-gtk-greeter 2.0.6-0ubuntu1

Everything works fine.

Subject: [Bug 1890394] Re: Lightdm-gtk-greeter coredump during boot with recent systemd versions

Can anyone tell me if focal is affected by this bug or not? Since I
don't feel comfortable releasing the bionic part without a focal upload
present (if the bug is reproducible there as well).

  Lightdm-gtk-greeter coredump during boot with recent systemd versions

Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The lightdm-gtk-greeter often segfaults on VMs

  * Test case
  - start a xubuntu livesession in a VM and logout
  -> you should get a greeter to log in
  (or install xubuntu in a VM)

  * Regression potential
  the mlockall call was supposed to provide improved security but isn't working, it was already commented out some cycles ago in unity-greeter, upstream and it other distributions

  ------------------

  Upstream:https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter/issues/77

  This is one of the many core dumps on `journalctl` for a given boot
  (dumps multiple times before starting) :

  **See it on upstream bug report**

  System Details:

  System:
  Kernel: 5.8.0-12-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop:
  Xfce 4.14.2
  Distro: Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) (*Proposed)

  lightdm                       1.30.0-0ubuntu3.1: amd64
  lightdm-gtk-greeter           2.0.6-0ubuntu1:amd64
  lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings  1.2.2-3
  linux-firmware                1.189

  systemd,systemd-coredump,
  systemd-sysv                                245.7-1ubuntu1
  ------------------------------------------------------

  Current Behaviour:

  On boot screen blinks for 2-3 times (probably the segmentation fault)
  but eventually starts after 1-2 minutes.

  Expected Behaviour:

  Greeter would appear properly after boot.

  Note: Some other systemd services are also failing on proposed, not
  sure if related.
