Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1835660] Missing required logs.
I want to sincerely thank you for your information. I assume that you are referring to my ubuntu based Linux Mint 20.04 problem. Since yesterday, I have removed and installed Mint 20.1 and find a little error with my initramfs but I have nothing to worry about. I will file this in my archive of Mint/Ubuntu remedies.
