Bug Description

Hi,
being one of the many that hit retry on systemd autopkgtest rather often I was checking the logs and found more than 50% of the cases dying on timeouts which seemed to be working but slow.

I wanted to suggest bumping the timeouts to hopefully improve the success rate of the tests.

It is not too much of a change, and If this proves to be successful we can suggest so to include the bumps upstream.

attaching a diff for your consideration ...

I would tend to agree, as these are quite flakey, from memory of retrying them.

Then would you bundle that with whatever the next systemd upload would be
please?

git format-patch, would have been nicer, for me to apply this against systemd git packaging repo.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 239-7ubuntu7

---------------
systemd (239-7ubuntu7) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * boot-and-services: skip gdm test, when gdm-x-session fails.
    Across all architectures, gdm fails to come up reliably since cosmic.
