nfs-kernel-server does not start because of dependency failure

[Marietto]

Hello.

Ubuntu 20.04 here. I'm trying to Install NFS Server and Client on Ubuntu 20.04,following this tutorial :

https://vitux.com/install-nfs-server-and-client-on-ubuntu/

these are the commands that I have issued :

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server

$ sudo mkdir -p /home/ziomario/Scrivania/Share

$ sudo chown nobody:nogroup /home/ziomario/Scrivania/Share

$ sudo chmod 777 /home/ziomario/Scrivania/Share

$ sudo nano /etc/exports/home/ziomario/Scrivania/Share 192.168.1.7(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

$ sudo exportfs -a

$ sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server

and I get this error :

A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

$ sudo journalctl -xe

ziomario-I9 systemd[1]: nfs-idmapd.service: Job nfs-idmapd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

the problem is that I don't know which package is broken.

UPDATE : I have purged the package "nfs-kernel-server" and I have reinstalled it from scratch. it worked for some time and then...it gave the same error as before. so,this is a bug for sure.

Has there been any movement on this, or can someone suggest a workaround? I upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and my nfs is down

[Marietto (marietto2008)]

why not try to update to 20.10 ?
