Hi,
I just build the new ISO image. But I noticed some strange things are going on with the systemd services. It seems all available services are enabled and get started. Of course some of them will then fail: https://paste.archlinux.de/Blu/
I did not look into it yet; cant tell when though.
This is a known issue with systemd 216-1:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41711
Though I doubt the fix from systemd 216-2 is a good idea for live media... We want a new machine-id for every system, no?
Not sure what you mean by this -- systemd has always generated a machine-id on first install, making live CDs all have the same machine ID. This isn't a problem. The newly installed system will always have a separate and unique machine-id of its own..
I thought this should be really unique... Are there any use cases where this can make problems? I do boot several instances of the same ISO in one network.
Yeah, the machine-id should really be unique. For instance networkd will use this whenever a unique, persistent per-machine value is needed, for instance to generate MAC addresses or DHCP identifiers (I assume there are also other such users). On a live system, you could simply ship an empty /etc/machine-id and PID1 will generate a random one in /run and overmount that file into /etc. Cheers, Tom
