Public bug reported: Since the upgrade I did not have any state saved with zsys.
When typing # /sbin/zsysctl state save I get the following error: ERROR couldn't save state for user "root": user "root" doesn't exist Then I found out that the root pool was not mounted at boot. I manually mounted it successfully. It did not fix the issue # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.10 Release: 20.10 # apt-cache policy zsys zsys: Installed: 0.5.2 Candidate: 0.5.2 Version table: *** 0.5.2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 Package: zsys 0.5.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-26.27-generic 5.8.14 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Nov 3 13:47:04 2020 Grub.cfg: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-03-15 (232 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Alpha amd64 (20200315) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/fish ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/BOOT/ubuntu_mj0kfs@/vmlinuz-5.8.0-26-generic root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_mj0kfs ro intel_iommu=on video=vesafb:off,efifb:off nvidia-drm.modeset=1 mitigations=off RelatedPackageVersions: zfs-initramfs 0.8.4-1ubuntu11 zfsutils-linux 0.8.4-1ubuntu11 SourcePackage: zsys UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to groovy on 2020-10-23 (10 days ago) ZFSListcache-bpool: bpool /boot off on on off on off on off - none - - - - - - - - bpool/BOOT none off on on off on off on off - none - - - - - - - - bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_mj0kfs /boot on on on off on off on off - none - - - - - - - - ** Affects: zsys (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug groovy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902797 Title: zsys unable to save state since upgrade to 20.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsys/+bug/1902797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
