Public bug reported: LTSP client is running Ubuntu 11.04
I had problems during an update in the chroot that wanted to update to kernel 2.6.38-11.50. This was the first time a kernel update was performed on this image so it's the first time I could run into this problem. The installation process runs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub, which exits with an error because it can't find the root partition. There is no root partition mounted because the update is performed in chroot. I had the same problem when I tried to perform the update on a running client system. In this case the problem was due to root being on an aufs disk rather than on an actual harddisk. I came to the conclusion that an LTSP image doesn't have to have a working grub because it doesn't boot from disk. My solution: „chmod -x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub“. If my thinking is correct I suggest that zz-update-grub be removed from the directory when the LTSP client tree is first created. ** Affects: ltsp Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ltsp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: grub kernel ltsp ** Also affects: ltsp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863134 Title: Kernel update fails due to grub update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/863134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
