almalinux 9 boot login problem

[jervermex]

Hi all. Is someone using the almalinux 9 image for any node? I'm facing a strange problem: the node boot up, but never get me the console login. After some investigation, i notice taht in this image, the getty service is mask, as console-getty services and others:

ls -l /etc/systemd/system

total 16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 3 12:06 console-getty.service -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 3 12:05 ctrl-alt-del.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/reboot.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 Aug 26 12:52 dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Aug 3 12:05 dbus.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-broker.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 3 12:06 default.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 3 12:06 dev-hugepages.mount -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 3 12:06 getty.target -> /dev/null

I've a screen as the image add in this post.

@jervermex that's odd. No unmasking is required for the Rocky Linux 9 image, but that must just be a configuration deviation between the upstream Rocky Linux 9 image and the upstream AlmaLinux 9 image.

Does it work if you add this to the definition?

RUN systemctl unmask \
      console-getty.service \
      dev-hugepages.mount \
      getty.target \
      sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount \
      systemd-logind.service \
      systemd-remount-fs.service

If so, we can copy that from the 8 to the 9 and the 10 image definition.

I do the modification opf the image directly using a "wwctl image shell almalinux-9 " command.
And the new image is now running well.
So as you mention it, there us a deviation. Hope that you could solve it to import a "good" almalinux image from warewulf!

Thank's!

@jervermex does #85 resolve your issue?

Adding context from Warewulf Slack - here is where the upstream container masks the services - https://github.com/AlmaLinux/container-images/blob/9ec2d07542f07e6781d6f388e66f1e3f2aac889e/Containerfiles/9/Containerfile.base#L89

Thanks for finding that, @middelkoopt.

@jervermex the PR is now merged, and images are updating.
