The issue you're describing suggests that you're trying to disable or mask the
serial-getty@ttyS0.service on a Linux system (likely using systemd), but after rebooting, the service remains active. This can happen due to misconfiguration, dependencies, or the service being re-enabled by the system. Below are steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.1. Understand the
Serviceserial-getty@ttyS0.service is a systemd service that provides a login prompt on the serial console (ttyS0). It is typically used for systems that require serial port access, but if you don't need it (e.g., no serial console is used), you can disable or mask it.2. Check the Current StatusFirst, verify the status of the service:bash
sudo systemctl status
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
Look for whether the service is active (running) or enabled.
Check the logs for any clues about why it might be starting:bash
journalctl -u
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
3. Disable the ServiceTo prevent the service from starting at boot, use the disable command:bash
sudo systemctl disable
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
This removes the service from the boot process but does not stop it if it's currently running.
Verify it’s disabled:bash
systemctl is-enabled
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
It should return disabled.
4. Stop the Service (Optional)If the service is currently running, stop it:bash
sudo systemctl stop
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
Confirm it’s stopped:bash
systemctl status
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
5. Mask the Service (Stronger Option)If disabling doesn’t work (e.g., another service or configuration re-enables it), you can mask the service to prevent it from starting:bash
sudo systemctl mask
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
Masking creates a symlink to /dev/null, making the service unrunnable.
Verify it’s masked:bash
systemctl is-enabled
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
It should return masked.
6. Check for DependenciesSometimes, other services or configurations (e.g., getty.target) may cause
serial-getty@ttyS0.service to start. Check for dependencies:bash
systemctl list-dependencies getty.target
Look for
serial-getty@ttyS0.service in the output.
If it’s listed, you may need to modify the configuration that’s pulling it in.
7. Inspect Kernel Command LineThe serial console might be enabled via the kernel command line. Check the kernel parameters:bash
cat /proc/cmdline
Look for parameters like console=ttyS0. If present, the kernel is configured to use the serial console, which may trigger the service.
To remove it, edit the GRUB configuration:Edit /etc/default/grub.
Find the line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and remove console=ttyS0 (or similar).
Update GRUB:bash
sudo update-grub
Reboot:bash
sudo reboot
8. Check for Systemd Generator or PresetSome systems use systemd generators or presets to automatically enable serial-getty services. Check:Systemd Presets:bash
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/*.preset
Look for lines enabling serial-getty@.service. If found, you can override this by creating a custom preset:bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system-preset
echo "disable
serial-getty@ttyS0.service" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system-preset/99-custom.preset
Systemd Generators:
Check for custom generators in /lib/systemd/system-generators/ or /etc/systemd/system-generators/. If one is enabling the service, you may need to modify or remove it.
9. Verify After RebootAfter making changes, reboot the system:bash
sudo reboot
Then check the service status again:bash
systemctl status
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
If it’s still active, check the logs for clues:bash
journalctl -u
serial-getty@ttyS0.service
10. Additional TroubleshootingInstance Units:
serial-getty@ttyS0.service is an instance of the serial-getty@.service template. Ensure you’re targeting the correct instance (ttyS0). If other serial ports are involved, repeat the process for them (e.g., ttyS1).
Custom Configuration: Check /etc/systemd/system/ for any custom unit files overriding the default behavior:bash
find /etc/systemd/system -name "serial-getty@ttyS0.service*"
If found, remove or edit them.
Firmware/BIOS Settings: Some systems enable serial consoles at the hardware level. Check your BIOS/UEFI settings for serial port configurations and disable if unnecessary.
11. If All Else FailsIf the service still starts, it’s possible that a higher-level configuration (e.g., cloud-init, container setup, or a custom script) is re-enabling it. Check:Cloud-Init: If you’re on a cloud VM, check /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg for serial console settings.
Custom Scripts: Look for scripts in /etc/rc.local or cron jobs that might start the service.
Reinstall Default Config: As a last resort, reset systemd’s configuration:bash
sudo systemctl preset-all
Then reapply the disable/mask commands.
NotesAlways back up configuration files before editing.
If you don’t need any serial console, consider disabling all serial-getty@ services by masking the template:bash
sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@.service
If you’re unsure about the impact of disabling the service, test in a non-production environment first.
If the issue persists after these steps, please provide:Output of systemctl status
serial-getty@ttyS0.service.
Output of cat /proc/cmdline.
Any relevant logs from journalctl -u
serial-getty@ttyS0.service.
This will help narrow down the root cause.
