Bug#1027321: lxd init run as non-root fails to find LVM thin provisioning tools

Show all headers | View raw

Package: lxd
Version: 5.0.1-3+b1
Severity: normal

Fresh bookworm system. Running `lxd init` as myself (after adding myself to
lxd group of course):

    michael@grook:~$ lxd init
    Would you like to use LXD clustering? (yes/no) [default=no]: 
    Do you want to configure a new storage pool? (yes/no) [default=yes]: 
    Name of the new storage pool [default=default]: 
    Name of the storage backend to use (zfs, dir, lvm) [default=zfs]: lvm
    Create a new LVM pool? (yes/no) [default=yes]: n
    Name of the existing LVM pool or dataset: lxd

    The LVM thin provisioning tools couldn't be found. LVM can still be used
    without thin provisioning but this will disable over-provisioning,
    increase the space requirements and creation time of images, containers
    and snapshots.

    If you wish to use thin provisioning, abort now, install the tools from
    your Linux distribution and run "lxd init" again afterwards.

    Do you want to continue without thin provisioning? (yes/no) [default=yes]: no
    Error: The LVM thin provisioning tools couldn't be found on the system

But I do have thin-provisioning-tools installed:

    michael@grook:~$ dpkg -l thin-provisioning-tools
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
    |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
    ||/ Name                    Version      Architecture Description
    +++-=======================-============-============-=============================================================
    ii  thin-provisioning-tools 0.9.0-2      amd64        Tools for handling thinly provisioned device-mapper meta-data

I'm hoping this is not a case of "well don't do that then", though I feel
that it should either succeed, or lxd should complain "you should run me as
root".
