Thank you Chris. Having first checked my backup, your post gave me the confidence to start the upgrade. It was a complete nightmare. I thought my system was completely borked. The upgrade (using do-release-upgrade) froze part way through, immediately after reporting the following to the console:

I currently have several installs with encrypted homes. Today I was going to upgrade the first of them, in this case, from 17.10 to 18.04. Having one last scan of the release notes before upgrading, I spotted this issue

I'd like to add another use case requiring non-full disk encryption. Machines that need to be powered on and off remotely, which is currently done using a wake-on-lan. The machines are not full-disk encrypted, but make use of encrypted homes and certain encrypted disks/partitions that can be

Thank you Dimitri. The dropbear initramfs technique looks interesting. It ought to provide a solution for my use case... I'll give it a go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756840

I'm on "Ubuntu 19.04" (disco), with initramfs-rools at version 0.131ubuntu19, and this is still broken for me. lvdisplay gives /dev/xubuntu-vg/swap_1 as the swap logical volume path and dzVm4y-Xeh5-o9UB-jLnI-0ldX-azSN-9w6QZq as the UUIS. I've tried separately with

This looks likely to be some kind of incompatibility with full-disk encrypted systems. I just spotted that the errors I am getting are not about the swap partition at all, but instead about /dev/mapper/xubuntu --vg-root, which is the encrypted root. From /etc/fstab: /dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-root /

For info, when I run "sudo apt --fix-broken install" it sometimes fails with a segmentation fault. Also, it seems to report "Operation not permitted" errors on a different drivers each time I run it. It's not repeatable. Is there a way that I can uninstall the 5.3.0-24 kernel (apt purge doesn't

Yes! I can't thank you enough. Sophos AV was the culprit. The following was able to get my system fully updated again: sudo systemctl stop sav-protect.service sudo apt --fix-broken install sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt autoremove sudo systemctl start sav-protect.service I'll

My system was installed using the LVM with full-disk encryption option of the alternative installer, and uses the default ext4 filesystem, so the filesystem doesn't appear to the problem. I previously reported that I didn't have the problem on a system with a very similar software setup, but

See this duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update- manager/+bug/1855259/comments/11. This is likely a bug in fanotify or Sophos, not dpkg. It would be useful to know whether the original poster (https://launchpad.net/~jsamuel-s) was using Sophos AV or fanotify at the time. --
