[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations
@ Dave Walker, I think we'd be foolish to rip into ubiquity this late in Oneiric for such a relatively minor bug. Note what I said in post #2: #1: If someone is really paying attention they can either choose the advanced option or quit the install. #2: If they're not paying attention the install seems to do the right thing anyway so they'll never know. I'd much prefer this be looked at again in P ;^) IMHO the most serious bug in ubiquity is bug 766265, and even with that, I'd hate to see ubiquity torn into this late in the process. I've tested extensively, beyond the prescribed iso-testing criteria, with Oneiric Beta 2 and I've found no conditions under which we'd cause a loss of data as we did with bug 655950. I think we must never risk such a thing again, unless it's very early in the Alpha stage of development when only experienced testers should be installing recklessly.

Just following up while testing the Oneiric Alpha2 iso-testing image.

We definitely need to fix this, but it's not sufficiently release critical to warrant a change to Natty.

[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations
I can confirm this with ubiquity 2.6.5 To reproduce in a VM 1. Install Natty once using full device space 2. Reboot 3. Install it a second time and choose 'install alongside' The partition manager displays 2 devices sda1 and sda2 But a dump of the partition table shows that sda2 is an extended partition. After proceeding, the dump shows that the partition manager actually resized sda1 and created sda6 and sda7. Setting to medium because it is sensible and misleading information. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) ** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Medium Assignee: Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) Status: Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657397 Title: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations
Upon first look I'm very impressed with the changes to ubiquity in Natty Alpha 3, and this is very, very minor, but using the install alongside option I noticed that the resize graphic showed that it was going to resize /dev/sdb3 and create /dev/sdb4. That could be possible because I began with: sdb1 = primary/Hardy root sdb3 = primary/Lucid root sdb2 = extended sdb5 = logical/swap What the installer/parted actually did was shrink sdb3, expand sdb2, and create sdb6: Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End SizeType File system Flags 1 32.3kB 38.4GB 38.4GB primary ext3boot 3 38.4GB 57.8GB 19.5GB primary ext3 2 57.8GB 80.0GB 22.2GB extended 6 57.8GB 74.6GB 16.8GB logical ext4 7 74.6GB 76.7GB 2136MB logical linux-swap(v1) 5 76.7GB 80.0GB 3307MB logical linux-swap(v1) That's certainly OK. I'm fully aware this is nit-picking and IMO a won't fix would suit me just fine here because (a) I think the group of users that are most likely to use this option are also very unlikely to pay attention to device designations and (b) the option to use the advanced partitioning tool is prominently displayed so those who are paying attention and want more control can easily click on it and do whatever they please. I would however appreciate Evan Dandrea's opinion on this. Great work so far, so thank you, and apologies in advance for the nit-picking ;^/ I'm attaching a screenshot so you can see the actual display. ** Attachment added: Screenshot-Install-2.png.tar.gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/657397/+attachment/1880884/+files/Screenshot-Install-2.png.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657397 Title: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I added apport-collect info to 682429 using the Natty Alpha1 iso-testing i386 Live CD. Hopefully you can parse that info to verify what I'm saying here. I began with this partitioning arrangement: Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 8484MB 8483MB primary ext4 boot 2 8484MB 77.7GB 69.3GB primary ext4 3 77.7GB 80.0GB 2289MB primary linux-swap(v1) The slider graphic displayed that it was going to split sdb2 and create a new sdb3 which clearly can't be correct because I already had am sd3. I did not however proceed with the resize, I clicked on Use entire partition and you can read the rest of that story at 682429 since it's the more serious of the two problems. This is only cosmetic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657397 Title: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations
I tried to attach some info using apport-collect from a completed Maverick installation that I performed on 11-21 but it appears that may not have completed successfully. Regardless I wanted to get some basic info down here before I have to wipe this install performing Natty iso- testing in a few days. I did this installation to provide some basic installer info on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10145206postcount=15 That includes some screenshots of the two actual instances of the installer showing incorrect designations or options. I began with this partition arrangement: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End SizeType File system Flags 1 32.3kB 1119MB 1119MB primary ntfs 2 1119MB 74.5GB 73.4GB primary ntfs 3 74.5GB 80.0GB 5519MB primary ntfs The first problem is a true duplicate of the behavior I noticed when I originally reported this bug. You'll see that the slider GUI shows it's going to resize /dev/sdb2 (ntfs) and create a new /dev/sdb3 (ext4). This is of course wrong because I already have an sdb3. What it actually did was quite different: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End SizeType File system Flags 1 32.3kB 1119MB 1119MB primary ntfs 2 1119MB 24.5GB 23.4GB primary ntfs 4 24.5GB 74.5GB 50.0GB extended 5 24.5GB 72.4GB 47.9GB logical ext4 6 72.4GB 74.5GB 2092MB logical linux-swap(v1) 3 74.5GB 80.0GB 5519MB primary ntfs Certainly an acceptable outcome in that regard. It's simply a matter of the GUI displaying the improper device info in that case. I did however notice another instance of either incorrect info or incorrect behavior. If you look at the second screenshot in that forum post you'll see that after selecting Use entire partition the GUI shows that it's going to use all of /dev/sdb as ext4, but it still shows two smaller partitions hidden. It's important to note here that I did NOT complete the installation upon seeing that. I just clicked on back. Regardless I think that's a separate issue from what I'd originally reported here so I intend to try another installation scenario, basically duplicating the latter behavior, and letting the installation complete. I should then be able to tell what the installer actually does after choosing Use entire partition and report that separately.

[Bug 657397] Re: Install alongside option displays incorrect device designations
Oops, being blind as a bat results in mistakes, this: During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to 16.8GB and create a ne16.3GB sdb4. Should have said: During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to 16.8GB and create a new 16.3GB sdb4. I did describe two other scenarios where this popped up at bug 655950: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/655950/comments/1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/655950/comments/2 In the second ignore the 4 NTFS stuff! That proved to be wrong, the only real difference between the old and new ubiquity there is that the new ubiquity lacks the warning No operating system is present , but that's unrelated. I have been able to reproduce this enough at this point to be certain that this is NOT serious for two reasons: #1: If someone is really paying attention they can either choose the advanced option or quit the install. #2: If they're not paying attention the install seems to do the right thing anyway so they'll never know. So, I think it's largely cosmetic. Something we should fix in Natty but definitely not worth delaying the release of Maverick.
