Title:
ubiquity offers installation media as an install target

I'm slightly interested to know how you can use biggest_free
# Skip devices containing the installation medium
[ -e "$dev/installation_medium" ] && continue
And we have always done that, meaning if one boots from something that
looks like installation_medium it
@superm1 i want the OEM image.
Imho, i like mwhudson approach. In general, we do want to prevent
some_device, if installer is running from the device in question. My
change to capture partitions, is because our regular stock installer now
mounts as a partition, rather than a whole disk.

Ah right, so since we're using biggest_free that corrected line from xnox
wouldn't even run.
I opened up another bug for this regression so we don't lose it (bug 1847944),
so maybe we should move discussion there.

Argh you're right of course. Have to run now, don't have time to make a
better patch.
And yes, I was assuming your recipe doesn't use some_device -- the
intent of my change was essentially to restrict the logic xnox added to
some_device and not the others (we should also probably add some
Thanks for the quick turnaround! I was able to do some quick testing
with it, and it does fix the problem.
A few comments though:
* This line:
$(mount | grep -qF "$device on /cdrom ") && continue
Is what was in 134ubuntu10, so is that what you actually meant? It seems like
it might want to
Argh I was worried that might happen :( Are you in a postition to test
the attached patch? (I realize testing installer patches like this isn't
the easiest thing)
** Patch added:
"0001-only-suppress-the-installation-media-for-some_device.patch"
Yes; I can confirm that is root cause; IE removing that new line in
/lib/partman/lib/auto-shared.sh resolves the issue.

I think this change broke OEM installation from a recovery partition on

Hm, I wonder, if this is now the same issue as seen on ppc64le subiquity
images, that parted now detects our installer media as partition table
`mac' and doesn't deal with it via partman which shows no partitions for
the device. and the state directory for it has no partitions.

Reading a bit more code
ubiquity has partman/check.d/partition_too_small which does read
/cdrom/casper/filesystem.size (which is 5GiB) and should actually
prevent from successfully contining to install on the installation
media.
Also there is d-i/source/partman-auto/lib/auto-shared.sh
For the dell usecase, the expection is to "use free" or "wipe Ubuntu FOO
and reinstall", meaning that only free space is used or an existing
Ubuntu partition is wiped & reinstalled.
Meaning that the full device /dev/sdb (the install media) is not offered
for install target.
The only time we do
But looking at brian's screenshot 2.3GB usb stick should not be offered
for installation, as it's too small and should have been filtered out by
some_device for installation.

For the record this happens when choosing use "Erase disk and install
Ubuntu", not in an advanced partitioning screen. Attached you'll find a
screenshot of issue with the install media as the default destination.
Although it might be because I used the following "kvm -m 4096 -boot d

Years ago, I believe I used to be able to use grub to mount an Ubuntu
iso on my hard drive as a loopback device and use that to install Ubuntu
on the same hard drive. But years ago, that use case broke. (Apologies
if I'm way off-topic here.)
