I installed encrypted zfs kinetic 20221018 iso build. Shut down the VM and made a copy of it, such that I can "first boot" all day long.
On first boot, I added break=bottom command, and changed journald.conf to use Storage=volatile, such that all logs remain in /run/log without any logs being flushed to /var/log, which may or may not be corrupted during first boot. On first boot, machine doesn't reach "default graphical target", slightly after seeding firefox.snap something (snapd?) calls systemctl reload, and system looses its marbles and tries to unmount all the things, followed by finally reaching graphical target if one switched to tty1 to like cause it to reach the graphical target. I will attach partial log showing the above; and full journal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993318 Title: ZFS + Encryption installations of Ubuntu Desktop suffer various severe problems related to the package manager Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in zsys package in Ubuntu: Invalid 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 GNOME Boxes, BIOS, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB disk space . OS is Ubuntu Desktop, Kinetic Final ISO. Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot the Ubuntu desktop ISO. 2. Select "Install Ubuntu" and proceed with the installation process. 3. When you get to the "Installation type" screen, select "Advanced Options", and enable ZFS + Encryption. 4. Proceed with the rest of the installation as normal. 5. Reboot into the newly installed system. 6. Log in. 7. Run "sudo apt update" in a terminal. Expected result: The package database should be updated normally. Actual result: You are presented with the following errors at the end of the apt output: Reading package lists... Error! E: flAbsPath on /var/lib/dpkg/status failed - realpath (2: No such file or directory) E: Could not open file - open (2: No such file or directory) E: Problem opening E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Notes: Switching to a TTY will print a crash error message related to the same missing /var/lib/dpkg/status file. Running "sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status" will allow "sudo apt update" to function and fix the crashed process in the TTY. 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 was related to update-manager in my experience, and another one was from "check-new- release-gtk".
