[Touch-packages] [Bug 798414] Re: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space
I just go this for the fourth time in two years and finally decided to follow up. Some questions: Won't every Ubuntu user *eventually* hit this? Can we expect them to google around, run random junk in a terminal, and hope things go smoothly after that? Should the install scripts just be able to uninstall old kernels on its own if it detects there's not enough space? What happens if their current kernel has a critical security vulnerability? Would they just stay vulnerable forever? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798414 Title: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space Status in tools for generating an initramfs: Confirmed Status in NULL Project: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools When generating a new initramfs there is no check for available free space, subsequently its possible for update-initramfs to fail due to a lack of free space.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1238194] Re: keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy
I'm getting bit by this (or something very similar to this) after upgrading from 14.10 to 15.04. Happy to provide any debug logs, run experimental packages, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238194 Title: keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: [Justification] With the kernel in 13.10, some systems use a different USB host driver than previously. Failing to include this driver in the initramfs causes regressions for users who need to interact with the system in early boot using a USB keyboard, such as users with an encrypted root filesystem. Such systems are not bootable with this host driver missing. [Test case] 1. On an affected system, reboot to a kernel from 13.04. 2. Install the initramfs-tools package from -proposed. 3. Reboot to the kernel from 13.10. 4. Verify that you are able to type your passphrase at the prompt in the initramfs. [Regression potential] Minimal. The update-initramfs script will ignore missing modules (such as the many other modules in the list which are built-ins), and the only change made is to copy the module into the initramfs: it will only be loaded in the initramfs if udev determines it's needed, just as it would load it after switching to the root filesystem. Is the same problem as here but in the new ubuntu 13.10 saucy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066376 I just can't use (i can install) a encrypted partition because when is time to introduce the password to unlock partition keyboard is not working. I don't know how to edit a bug to report it afects other version of ubuntu so i created this new bug...
