Hello, I am surprised by a few things : first of all, linux-crashdump, hence kdump-tools, is not installed by default on a server install. So you must have added that step somehow.
I have just installed Xenial using the mini.iso network install and kdump-tool is not installed after completion. I installed it without any issue, rebooted and the functionality works as expected. Now your output shows that it is the kernel's post-install trigger that fails, so this is where you should but the -x (add it to the sh -e shebang at the top of the script). Then you can run the following & paste the output here : /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools $(uname -r) FYI, this script is responsible for building the smaller initrd used by kdump when rebooting after a crash. ...Louis -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687791 Title: Install of kdump-tools fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1687791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
