I am pretty sure that these questions are better addressed to the kubuntu-devel list, as you are using an unreleased version and I doubt this should go to the user support list.

After this change, the system wouldn't boot anymore. I'm not sure about the exact error messages at this point, but suffice to say for now that there were errors about the thin-volumes not being able to be loaded. This may actually have to do with the package thin-provisioning-tools not being installed by default, or not being included in the initrd. I can't regen my initrd at this point due to the other problem of not being able to chroot into my install. I will have to boot it from a regular partition, try to regen the initrd (how can I do that if it won't know I'll need it?) and then boot from there when the thing is copied back onto the thin. It is because activating a thin-volume will try to use thin_check and if it's not there, it will fail :(. A pretty bad dependency, I must say. But it's the same as cryptsetup... I think it really needs thin_check in the initrd to even begin loading the volumes. Does anyone have a recipe for getting this working? I can - boot the system from a regular partition - install the package from there - - regenerate the initrd and install it What is the third step? Will it work automatically? Do I need to provide a hook for initramfs-tools or something?. Regards, Bart ps. I would also suggest to add thin-provisioning-tools to the base image of Kubuntu. https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/50 -- kubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users -- Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
