[Halium 9 Kernel Patching][GSI] Ubports fails to boot

[nitanmarcel]

It might be the hwservicemanager. I'm applying a patch rn

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack Same story. I can ssh but as soon as I enter the pasword phablet the console tab freezes and the phone reboots after a few seconds. This time without any last_kmsg.

[nitanmarcel]

I managed to get an last_kmsg after a few attemps: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gdThm8JyfF/

[nitanmarcel]

If I'm not wrong I think this is what crashes it.

35>[   36.966464,5] systemd-logind[3823]: Failed to start user service, ignoring: Unknown unit: user@32011.service
<4>[   36.967859,4] !entity_is_task(se)

[flohack]

@nitanmarcel No that one you can ignore, its normal ^^

[flohack]

@nitanmarcel Please mount your rootfs again as described above and move out all startup jobs called lxc-* to another folder. We must prevent any interaction with cgroups and lxc. And we need to get the output of lxc-checkconfig (its not a file, rather you call this on the console)

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack Same thing happens. I get stuck after I enter the password. I've also tried from recovery and the same thing happens.

[nitanmarcel]

Also after I connect with ssh and it freezes if I try from another tab I can't connect anymore

[flohack]

But does it bootloop?

[flohack]

Can you try this fix:
mkdir /a
mount /data/rootfs.img /a
echo manual |tee /a/etc/init/rsyslog.override
umount /a
sync
we disable syslog daemon for a while, see if that unblocks ssh

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack Yes, it goes to bootloop again. I've tried your fix but it still get's stuck after I enter my password and the same thing happens as before with lxc. The phone reboot then goes into a bootloop as soon as the phone starts

[nitanmarcel]

And yeah, if I don't ssh the phone doesn't reboot. It just stays at the Android One logo

[Edit: then it shuts down]

[nitanmarcel]

I also tried with telnet

nitanmarcel@nitanmarcel:~/adb/Ubports$ telnet 10.15.19.82
Trying 10.15.19.82...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

[flohack]

Sorry out of ideas

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack No problem, thanks for trying to help I've also tried to change my system from f2fs to ext4 and the phone didn't rebooted again, but I still can't ssh.

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack I got an idea. Instead of using ssh can't we just make a script to run the command at boot and then store it to a file? like lxc-checkconfig >> /home/phablet/lxc-checkconfig

[flohack]

@nitanmarcel Sure you can craft a one-time upstart job in /etc/init. Go for it

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack I've tried and with no success. Nothing got saved which is strange because I tried echoing to a file and same thing happened. Nothing

[nitanmarcel]

@Flohack I've tried modifying the ssh.override to create the log when the ssh starts but nothing happens:

pre start script
  lxc-checkconfig >> /home/phablet/lxcout.txt
  exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D -o PasswordAuthentication=yes
end script

Am I doing something wrong?

[flohack]

@nitanmarcel DOes it crash too early maybe?
