Public bug reported:
The installer from my Xubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO installation disk, obtained
from http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/ubuntu-
dvd/xubuntu/releases/22.04/release/xubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso did
not allow me to make an installation with separate partitions for
* the operating system, i.e. /
* user data, i.e. the /home partition.
Once I created additional partitions on the disk inside of /snap/ubuntu-
desktop-bootstrap/171/bin/ubuntu-bootstrap, the key to proceed greyed
out.
I could only install Xubnutu with everything in a single partition. I
had to create the partition for /home outside of the installation
procedure, copy the directory contents of /home from the initially
created single partition to the newly created partition and then I had
to edit /etc/fstab accordingly.
That's very awkward. It's too difficult for beginners. Being able to
separate the operating system and the user's data (i.e. put /home into a
separate partition) should be easy. This was possible with previous
versions of Xubuntu and it should become possible again!
(Separate partitions for the operating system and for the user data
split the free space into two parts and are therefore not as effective
when space on the hard disk is limited, but they make data backup
strategies considerably easier.)
