[SOLVED] Debian 12

jackx2023 · 06-16-2023, 03:59 PM

Hi All,

I did a fresh install of debian 12 using LVM as the partitioning scheme.

long story short, the installation went fine with no problems.

I typed a few LVM commands to check the status of my LVMs.

And none exist on the system.

apt shows that lvm2 is installed. I even did a reinstall of lvm2.

And still no lvm commands.

I use the find command to find pvdisplay, pvs, lvdisplay,etc

And none are found in the root system.

Has anyone experience this in debian 12?

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

If apt search doesn't find the packages you want, try apt-file search to search for the name of the binary you're looking for to find what package it's in.

From this article it seems debian 10+ omits all sbin directories from the system PATH.

I fixed it by typing the code below from the answer in that article.

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH

And it work!!!

I also need to add this to my /etc/profile or the /root/.bashrc file.

Doubt you need to add it to /root/.bashrc because root path includes sbin, so those commands work with sudo. Its only user path that doesnt include it - I think. I think reboot command might be in that path too?

I can confirm this.

yes, it is now /usr/sbin, and in general regular users do not need /sbin (or /usr/sbin), it is intentionally not included in PATH (only for root). But if you want to change it you need to make it for yourself.
