The ticket have been closed, with follow commands, the issue can be solved:

$sudo systemd-sysext unmerge
$sudo install-dev-tools
$sudo systemd-sysext merge

That looks like at least two commands.
Should they be used like so:
sudo systemd-sysext unmerge install-dev-tools
sudo systemd-sysext merge

Or another way?

sudo systemd-sysext unmerge
install-dev-tools
sudo systemd-sysext merge

it seems like you’ll need to leave it unmerged when installing anything with apt-get though

Yes,and I always get this warning after apt-get install,but seems don’t matter:

Has anyone being able to get past the Read-only file system issue when running initramfs-tools?

I tried the steps marked as solution, but that read-only file system issue keeps preventing me from rebuilding init image

Same, though I’m on Fangtooth now, 25.04.0 … was trying to install the old nvidia 470 drivers for my K80 but can’t get past this point, even tried setting readonly=off on the zfs boot-pool dataset for / but that never updated, always says “on” :confused:

Turns out I had to reboot after doing install-dev-tools for the /boot path to be writable. Unfortunately now I am stuck at…

I had problems compiling the 470.xx drivers with the new 6.12.x kernel used by Fangtooth, but some Google search helped.

The issue is that the driver is old and needs patch for compiling with the 6.12.x kernel series.

I found the patches here: CachyOS-PKGBUILDS/nvidia/nvidia-470xx-utils at master · CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS · GitHub (download the 6.12 patch) and apply it onto the NVIDIA driver code. Unfortunately I don’t have the code anymore to try to give you the exact patch command, but I did get it to compile (without DKMS) and my GeForce GT 730 is now recognized by nvidia-smi.

Thank you so much!!

I grabbed the patch and the driver (.run), extracted it, and applied the patch using patch < ../../kernel-6.12.patch in the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.256.02/kernel directory, patch tool said couldn’t find the file so I provided it nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c which ended successfully I guess (no errors).

However running nvidia-installer didn’t work.

I then found this thread/post https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=6535368, and that seems to have installed correctly.
