system-config-lvm package missing from 18.04LTS Bionic Beaver

[Damiön la Bagh]

Package "system-config-lvm" is not compatible with Wayland so was in some strange logic removed from the repositories in 17.10. This, even though we could switch back to Xorg, which we did anyway since Wayland is far from production ready.

Luckily with 18.04LTS Xorg will be default, meaning we can use system-config-lvm again.

Please re-add it to the Ubuntu Repositories for 18.04LTS and include it in the LiveISO (USB, CD).

It's really the only GUI utility to configure LVM's properly. Since Ubuntu's default LVM creation in Ubiquity does not allow you to specify a volume group name and separate the root from home logical partitions.

Using a GUI to configure LVM is much better than using the command line as one can better visualize the results of ones actions.

Thanks!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I just like to add that in the absence of other alternative(s), it is unwise to remove system-config-lvm from the repository. Much more so when there is no apparent reason (Xorg being still the display server used in Ubuntu...).
