system-config-lvm fails with invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/lvm2 not found.

[Andres Mujica]

Binary package hint: system-config-lvm

according to upstream debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519579 a change was included into start script for system-config-lvm.

As Ubuntu doesn't use the lvm2 init script this gives the error specified before.

Release of Ubuntu: Karmic Alpha 2
Package Version: 1.1.4-4
Expected Results: clean start
Actual Results: fails with the message stated above

I'm attaching a really simple patch for this to work

This bug was fixed in the package system-config-lvm - 1.1.4-4ubuntu1

---------------
system-config-lvm (1.1.4-4ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * In Ubuntu, we use udev rather than an init script to activate lvm2, so
    don't try to invoke the init script (thanks, Andres Mujica; LP:
    #390421).

This bug also happens in 13.10

[Pat Callahan (pat-callahan1)]

This one is closed see Bug #1239912 against 13.10 so take a look there.
for the record, the workaround:

sudo /usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py;
