Bug Description

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'.

ziomario-I9 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for NFS Mount Daemon.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1884357/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

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
