Hm, don't you still need kexec-tools installed to reboot with kexec via systemd?
I think this bug should be more about asking to reboot using kexec with systemd. The only problem is that for that to work, Ubuntu would need to implement https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/ (or move to boot using systemd-boot instead of grub2 - then the former is gained for free). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to kexec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713997 Title: kexec-tools should not ask to handle reboots Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Reboots via kexec-tools are only supported on SysV init systems. With systemd the only supported init system by now, kexec-tools should no longer ask (during installation) if reboots should be handled by kexec-tools. There should be no user interaction required when installing the package. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 $ apt-cache policy kexec-tools kexec-tools: Installed: 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1713997/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
