Hello Brad, or anyone else affected, Accepted kdump-tools into mantic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdump- tools/1:1.8.1ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-mantic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: kdump-tools (Ubuntu Mantic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-mantic ** Changed in: kdump-tools (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-nvidia in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2043059 Title: Installation errors out when installing in a chroot Status in kdump-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-nvidia package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in kdump-tools source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in linux-nvidia source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in kdump-tools source package in Mantic: Fix Committed Status in linux-nvidia source package in Mantic: Invalid Status in kdump-tools source package in Noble: Fix Released Status in linux-nvidia source package in Noble: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] When installing in a chroot environment, the kdump-tools kernel hook will fail. This breaks certain OS image creation tools, such as BCM (which I assume is NVIDIA Base Command Manager from context). While BCM's image generation tool requires some additional tweaks to consume this, the proposed fix is necessary, and should be sufficient for other tools that use chroots. [Test Plan] 1) debootstrap a chroot environment for the target Ubuntu release 2) Install kdump-tools within that environment 3) Install a kernel package and make sure it succeeds. 4) do the same steps in a virtual machine, but with `ischroot` symlinked to /dev/true at install time. This should simulate a system that was just installed with an image prepared as above. 5) Then restore ischroot, and reboot. 6) Confirm the systemd service does generate an initramfs at boot, and 7) that a crash dump can be triggered afterwords. [Where Problems Could Occur] The solution we implemented in noble was simply to detect a chroot environment with ischroot, and disable initramfs generation. The systemd service will detect that an initrd is missing, and generate one on first boot. A source of potential problems is if that does not happen for some reason, resulting in a kdump-tools service failure on first boot.
