Thanks Maarten for the detailed write up. I was able to follow it precisely but to no avail. I believe I must be suffering from other problems. What looks like the relevant section in the journalctl output looks like so:
<SNIP> -- Subject: Unit proc-fs-nfsd.mount has begun start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://www.ubuntu.com/support -- -- Unit proc-fs-nfsd.mount has begun starting up. May 22 11:42:13 git systemd[1]: Starting Preprocess NFS configuration... -- Subject: Unit nfs-config.service has begun start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://www.ubuntu.com/support -- -- Unit nfs-config.service has begun starting up.

May 22 11:42:13 git systemd[1]: proc-fs-nfsd.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited status=32 May 22 11:42:13 git systemd[1]: proc-fs-nfsd.mount: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Which somehow means that the nfsd filetype which requires some kernel module (Provided by: nfs-kernel-server_1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5_amd64 ???) isn't there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590799 Title: nfs-kernel-server does not start because of dependency failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1590799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
