How To Fix lsbilibop: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu lsbilibop is provided by bilibop-rules package.

bilibop-rules is:

Bilibop helps to maintain a Debian GNU/Linux operating system installed on an external media (USB, FireWire, Flash memory, eSATA). It hardens standard rules and policies to make the system more robust in this particular situation.

This package provides a udev rules file to manage the external drive hosting the running system. Its main goal is to forbid low-level write access on this drive and its partitions by any unprivileged user or application, but some other convenient and optional rules have been added for desktop-level management (in desktop environments based on udisks2) of the system disk and partitions, as well as the internal disks of the computer. The ’lsbilibop' command allows the admin to update udev properties of the devices after the configuration file has been modified.

To ease device management, bilibop-rules also provides helper scripts to:

  • build custom bilibop udev rules running faster than the generic ones
  • filter Physical Volumes, to activate only those needed by the system

This package is not designed to be used on internal disks. It works only for OS installed on removable and writable media, including LiveUSB as well as native systems. See also the bilibop-udev package.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install bilibop-rules

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install bilibop-rules.

sudo apt -y install bilibop-rules

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install bilibop-rules
