Description of problem:
When starting a system with spice-vdagent installed, the following message is visible in console:
...
[ OK ] Stopped File System Check on Root Device.
Stopping File System Check on Root Device...
Starting Remount Root and Kernel File Systems...
[ INFO ] dev-virtio\x2dports-com.redhat.spice.0.device is not active.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Activation socket for spice guest agent daemon.
[ OK ] Created slice system-selinux\x2dpol...grate\x2dlocal\x2dchanges.slice.
Starting Apply Kernel Variables...
...
The message is also visible at the beginning of a RHEL-7.5 installation.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-15.el7
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install spice-vdagent
2. restart the system
Actual results:
INFO/DEPEND messages in console
Expected results:
Probably no INFO/DEPEND log messages with dependency failures in console, since it looks suspicious
Is this a Virtual Machine or a bare metal one?
For the virtual machine case, this is a valid log message as expected Spice features wouldn't work without the virtio device.
I don't think we expect users to install spice-vdagent in bare metal machines. Same goes to qemu-guest-agent and so on.
FYI, this happens when booting the 7.6 rescue shell:
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Activation socket for spice guest agent daemon.
[ INFO ] dev-virtio\x2dports-com.redhat.spice.0.device is not active.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Activation socket for spice guest agent daemon.
