The Most Common, Annoying Issue When Benchmarking Ubuntu On Many Systems

[nils_]

I have added this and other settings to an ansible playbook which I use to install virtual machines. I also had to do a few other workarounds for grub2 since it's acting rather peculiar when trying to install from a host system to a guest system - I ended up copying the stage1 and boot loader with dd and applying them to the disk since grub-install breaks.

Did you try

/usr/bin/grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv unset recordfail

I think it would have to run upon every startup

This is the most optimal solution I've found, thanks! Didn't think of it before, will give it a shot. It's fine if needing to run every startup and is most desirable in case the user is not always running PTS.

We'll see how this works, thanks again.

Michael, please file a bug upstream on Launchpad and maybe it will get fixed.

This sounds like a very serious issue for especially the Ubuntu Server image.
