Description Vratislav Podzimek 2013-09-20 18:47:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
The Initial Setup (the first boot utility) needs to run before a login prompt is shown because its purpose is to create user account and setup root password. However, in order to do that, all getty@*.service and serial-getty@*.service services need to wait for it to finish which is impossible to achieve with uknown TTYs and serial TTYs. The reason is that the Before field of the unit file doesn't allow to specify 'getty@*.service' or 'getty@service' (without any particular TTY).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-207.4-fc20


Actual results:
No way for a service to specify all (serial-)getty services should wait for it to finish.

Expected results:
Easy way for a service to specify all (serial-)getty services should wait for it to finish.
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-09-21 13:30:21 UTC 
Would specifying Before=systemd-user-sessions.service in that service work for you? systemd-user-sessions.service is the thing that actually allows user to log in, both through e.g. ssh and on the console.
Comment 2 Michal Schmidt 2013-09-23 08:02:31 UTC 
(In reply to Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from comment #1)
That would not work for Vratislav, because he also wants his unit to run After=plymouth-quit-wait.service, which itself runs After=systemd-user-sessions.service, so an ordering loop would appear.
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2014-02-23 16:34:53 UTC 
I'd suggest to do what Zbigniew suggested, but in the program to be run simply terminate the plymouth screen directly, so that plymouth-quit-wait.service later on will turn into a NOP... That sounds easiest to me...

i.e. to initial-setup add /usr/bin/plymouth --wait and then order it before systemd-user-sessions.service.

Would adding 'ExecStopPost=/usr/bin/plymouth --wait' work the same way? I'd really like to avoid adding some Plymouth-specific code to the initial-setup's code.

BTW, initial-setup has a new mantainer now.

You mean ExecStartPre ? Yes, it should work the same way.
Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:25:54 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 7 Vratislav Podzimek 2015-06-10 07:27:55 UTC 
Still an issue even on F22.
Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:25:03 UTC 
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Comment 9 Martin Kolman 2016-07-19 11:16:50 UTC 
Still a (systemd) issue, unfortunately.
