[Bug 1915887] Re: systemd spams the syslog about lack of native systemd unit file

Mon Mar 29 08:49:30 UTC 2021

Hello Rolf, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/246.6-1ubuntu1.3 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy

Bug description:
  [impact]

  systemd spams journal with log messages

  [test case]

  see journalctl output and search for msgs similar to those listed in
  original description below

  [regression potential]

  any regession would likely result in logs incorrectly not logged when
  detecting a problem such as lack of native unit file, or using
  /var/run.

  [scope]

  this is needed in f/g

  this is fixed upstream with commit https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-
  team/systemd/-/commit/0c6d90f783093fc255e529f8a33b2ed2a8e6c2d6 from
  debian, which is included in 247.3-2 and later so this is fixed in
  hirsute already (in -proposed package).

  these log messages aren't present in b or earlier so aren't needed in
  x/b

  [original description]

  systemd in hirsute spams the syslog file several times per second
  about services lacking native systemd unit files.  Two things should
  happen.

  1) a systemd unit file ought to be created
  2) systemd should be slowed down with regards to these messages
