I was about to upload a new diff, but before that I wanted to do some complete testing of the thing to make sure that it really worked.
What I found out is that this patch isn't really needed that badly anymore, because both mountall and plymouth include the hooks that copy the correct libnss files. Without this patch, when you regenerate the initramfs image, you get an error message (libnss files are not found), but that error message is pretty harmless, since the files are being copied from the right location anyway. The original report was from 2011 and I'm guessing that back then neither plymouth nor mountall included the snippet that copies the correct files. At some point in the middle this was fixed, and only the error message of the files not being found in the dropbear hook remained. Having found this, I consider this bug just a cosmetic issue that is not worth an SRU, and thus should be closed as "Won't fix" for precise and quantal. Sorry to have wasted your and my time in this, I should have tested better in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834174 Title: cannot login via ssh when using dropbear in initramfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dropbear/+bug/834174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
