Re: The question regarding missing dependencies. You might try this:
*zcat /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | grep -E "(depends|provides)"* If you ran an update and dependencies were missing. Then *update-initramfs -u* wouldn't be of any help to you. I hadn't introduced myself. My background is in art and literature, I started working on the front end, and I started moving to the backend to troubleshoot problems with the web server. Learning NodeJs, Php and Bash, and I'm learning C++. In particular, I'm trying to get the Apache2 to serve. I have Ubuntu working on a Chromebook. Is it really that much more complicated to complete the boot process in chroot? I'll try the container solution. yours truly, Benjamin Godfrey On Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 5:00 AM <systemd-devel-requ...@lists.freedesktop.org> wrote: > Send systemd-devel mailing list submissions to > systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > systemd-devel-requ...@lists.freedesktop.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > systemd-devel-ow...@lists.freedesktop.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of systemd-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
