Title:
ZFS + Encryption installations of Ubuntu Desktop suffer various severe
problems related to the package manager
Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in zsys package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is *probably* the wrong package, but it's the best I can figure
for this, so here goes.
Hardware: Kubuntu Focus XE, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 11th Gen Intel Core
i5, UEFI, no secure boot. Testing done in VirtualBox, BIOS, 4 GB RAM,
50 GB SSD. OS is Ubuntu Desktop, Kinetic Final ISO.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the Ubuntu desktop ISO.
2. Select "Try Ubuntu" (don't select "Install Ubuntu" if you're in VirtualBox
or you won't be able to see important buttons).
3. Click the application menu, search for "Display", and change the screen
resolution to something bigger than 800x600 (I use 1360x768).
4. Start the installer and proceed with the installation process.
5. When you get to the "Installation type" screen, select "Advanced Options",
and enable ZFS + Encryption.
6. Proceed with the rest of the installation as normal.
7. Reboot into the newly installed system.
8. Attempt to log in.
Expected result: You should be logged in and arrive at a GNOME
desktop.
Actual result: You are immediately dropped back to the login screen/
Notes: The fall back to the login screen will occur whether you use
Wayland or Xorg. If you switch to a TTY and log in, you will see an
error related to a missing file, /var/lib/dpkg/status. "sudo apt
update" will error out as a result of this missing file. Running "sudo
touch /var/lib/dpkg/status" will allow "sudo apt update" to function,
and you will then be able to log into the GNOME desktop.
Once you log in, you'll notice that Firefox is missing (bug #1993279),
and you will likely be presented with a ton of error messages and
other scary junk. At least one of those error messages will be related
to update-manager.
Once you get past that whole mess, the system seems to work OK (I'm
typing on the VM that I produced this mess on). I still notice a
"System program problem detected" window pop up at least once after
booting the VM, but it otherwise functions normally so far.
