[systemd-devel] v19: plymouth-quit-wait waits forever/no getty

[Andrey Borzenkov]

With unit restructuring I now have VM that stays there without ever
spawning getty in multi-user.target

There are two problems associated with it

1) plymouth-quit is not ever started. I do not understand why - it is
queued, and it should be started after rc-local.service is finished
and it is not. Log attached.

2) getty's now are ordered after plymouth-quit-wait, so they are never
started until plymouth --wait finishes. But it never finishes because
plymouth-quit is never run. Unfortunately, TimeoutSec is not applied
to oneshot units so it just sits there forever. Patch attached. After
booting with it I see that plymouth-quit is actually run but apprently
*after* plymouthquit-wait which has failed.

[root at localhost ~]# systemctl status plymouth-quit.service
plymouth-quit.service - Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen

[root at localhost ~]# systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait.service

Offhand: it would be *really* nice to have here explanation *why*
service failed. You cannot expect people searching for this in logs
every time, really.

systemd[1]: plymouth-quit-wait.service operation timed out. Terminating.
