grub-boot-success.service fails to mark boot as successful 2 mins after user login #181

Closed JeffSnoxell closed 7 months ago

Example error:

[Grub2 Error grub-boot-success.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE]

Reproduce error by logging in via SSH as any user, two minutes later 'systemd' attempts to run the command in:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/grub-boot-success.service

This by default tries to run:

[Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/grub2-set-bootflag boot_success

Which fails with the above error.

The problem seems to be that the command grub2-set-bootflag is being run as the logged in user, and within grub2-set-bootflag, a setuid(0) command fails (presume trying to set the user to 'root').

Given that ALL users signing in would result in the same bootflag being set (if the above worked) it seems unlikely the bootflag serves any real useful purpose anyway, so perhaps this 'service' should be stopped from running anyway. But at the moment it is not working and is resulting in regular errors reported in 'messages'.

Seems to have been resolved in AlmaLinux v8.9.0 STANDARD kvm
