Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2023-07-29 15:49:51 UTC 
The generator fails:
$ /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/ostree-system-generator 
ostree-system-generator: No ostree= cmdline

The user might install the package to use one of the tools in the package, or to read the man pages, or just for experimentation, and the generator which runs unconditionally should gracefully do nothing if the kernel parameter is not present.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Colin Walters 2023-07-31 13:18:39 UTC 
Which version are you using?  This should have been fixed by https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2911 which is in 2023.5

Tentatively closing, reopen if this is not already fixed for you.
Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2023-07-31 17:40:24 UTC 
Yep, I had ostree-0:2023.4-2.fc38.x86_64. I should have checked the latest version… Thanks!
