[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
The problem is down to a bad entry in the master filesystem table or /etc/fstab Go to a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/fstab Find the line that refers to your thumbdrive ; it will be /dev/sdXN (where X is a letter and N is a number), where the filesystem has been set to one of the CDROM filesystems (cdfs, isofs, etc). It won't be one of the lines that has a big UUID in it. On a fresh install, it's usually the last line. Delete this line, save, reboot (may be unnecessary). You should now be able to connect your thumbdrive and have it show up on the desktop.

I think this will cause problems during pkgsel (or for certain kinds of ubiquity installs), because apt-cdrom won't be able to make use of packages on the CD.

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
Just so I understand, it sounds to me like when I install Ubuntu from a USB cdrom drive it will add an entry to /etc/fstab for that removable drive. However, once you remove that drive from the system (as you may have only wanted to use it for the install) the drive is now invalid. Can you explain further why apt-cdrom needs an invalid entry in /etc/ftab? Can the installer check the value of /sys/block/sr*/removable and not add the drive to /etc/fstab if the value is "1"? What is the effect on apt-cdrom? I suppose we need to file a bug against apt-cdrom to support installation from installation media that are not necessarily a CD-ROM (such as a USB key) or prompt the user to insert media, detect the insertion of a device and check that device for the installation media.

Just so I understand, it sounds to me like when I install Ubuntu from a USB cdrom drive it will add an entry to /etc/fstab for that removable drive. However, once you remove that drive from the system (as you may have only wanted to use it for the install) the drive is now invalid.

I suppose we need to file a bug against apt-cdrom to support installation from installation media that are not necessarily a CD-ROM (such as a USB key) or prompt the user to insert media, detect the insertion of a device and check that device for the installation media.

I think this will cause problems during pkgsel (or for certain kinds of ubiquity installs), because apt-cdrom won't be able to make use of packages on the CD. Instead, in the USB install case I think we need to remove /cdrom from /etc/fstab at the end of the installation, in a finish-install script (for d-i) and in custom scripts/install.py code (for ubiquity). -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
The problem is down to a bad entry in the master filesystem table or /etc/fstab Go to a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/fstab Find the line that refers to your thumbdrive ; it will be /dev/sdXN (where X is a letter and N is a number), where the filesystem has been set to one of the CDROM filesystems (cdfs, isofs, etc). It won't be one of the lines that has a big UUID in it. On a fresh install, it's usually the last line. Delete this line, save, reboot (may be unnecessary). You should now be able to connect your thumbdrive and have it show up on the desktop. Note ; be very careful about what you edit in /etc/fstab as it can render your machine unbootable. -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
Proposed patch.

No code in usb-creator touches /etc/fstab. It simply writes the contents of the installation medium to a disk.

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
I think this will cause problems during pkgsel (or for certain kinds of ubiquity installs), because apt-cdrom won't be able to make use of packages on the CD. Instead, in the USB install case I think we need to remove /cdrom from /etc/fstab at the end of the installation, in a finish-install script (for d-i) and in custom scripts/install.py code (for ubiquity). -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
The problem is down to a bad entry in the master filesystem table or /etc/fstab Go to a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/fstab Find the line that refers to your thumbdrive ; it will be /dev/sdXN (where X is a letter and N is a number), where the filesystem has been set to one of the CDROM filesystems (cdfs, isofs, etc). It won't be one of the lines that has a big UUID in it. On a fresh install, it's usually the last line. Delete this line, save, reboot (may be unnecessary). You should now be able to connect your thumbdrive and have it show up on the desktop.

Pete, my point was not that apt-cdrom needed an invalid entry after installation (clearly this is no use to it), but that it needs /cdrom to be valid *during* installation. -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
We can't do anything much about this until apt-cdrom can discover the CD drive dynamically. Until that, taking removable media out of /etc/fstab would break other things. (I'm not excluding the possibility of minor hacks just for USB installs, and Evan is aware of this, but we can't fix it in a sweeping fashion.) -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 150872] Re: Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab
Just so I understand, it sounds to me like when I install Ubuntu from a USB cdrom drive it will add an entry to /etc/fstab for that removable drive. However, once you remove that drive from the system (as you may have only wanted to use it for the install) the drive is now invalid. Can you explain further why apt-cdrom needs an invalid entry in /etc/ftab? Can the installer check the value of /sys/block/sr*/removable and not add the drive to /etc/fstab if the value is "1"? What is the effect on apt-cdrom? I suppose we need to file a bug against apt-cdrom to support installation from installation media that are not necessarily a CD-ROM (such as a USB key) or prompt the user to insert media, detect the insertion of a device and check that device for the installation media. Ok, I'm sure that is not easy, but I'm just trying to give alternatives. -- Installer should not list removable media in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
