| tjaalton | ev, xnox: I was debugging an issue with ubiquity last friday, it doesn't recognize uefi-installation of win8 here, so can't resize the disks to make room for saucy | 09:21 |
|---|---|---|
| tjaalton | so was wondering you might have a clue of what's missing? | 09:21 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: 'WINOSDATA=true os-prober' doesn't return anything here, so I guess os-prober still needs some fixing. dunno if this is used strictly for migration-assistant only, and not partman on ubiquity.. | 11:25 |
| tjaalton | right, it's the check for /sys/firmware/efi in 20microsoft, which makes it skip the rest, so m-a doesn't work on uefi systems at all | 11:30 |
| tjaalton | adding a condition for '&& [ ! -n "$WINOSDATA" ] seems to work | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | It's certainly not about m-a, since that's been removed | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | (Mostly; there may be a few pieces left) | 11:37 |
| tjaalton | oh | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | The only reference I see to WINOSDATA in ubiquity is AFAICS vestigial | 11:38 |
| tjaalton | so maybe the WINOSDATA-stuff in os-prober can be dropped now | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | But I don't see WINOSDATA in migration-assistant either ... | 11:38 |
| tjaalton | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/772470 | 11:38 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 772470 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) "os-prober doesn't detect Windows partition but the recovery partition instead" [High,Fix released] | 11:38 |
| tjaalton | that's where it was added | 11:39 |
| cjwatson | That wasn't (just) for migration-assistant | 11:39 |
| tjaalton | right | 11:39 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity needs to know where the Windows partition is so that it can display it appropriately in the simplified partitioning dialogs | 11:39 |
| tjaalton | looks to me it should just blindly go through ntfs partitions? | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | Yeah | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | Fixing. Is there a bug# for this? | 11:41 |
| tjaalton | no, I could create one | 11:41 |
| cjwatson | No, don't worry | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | Just for the changelog if there already was one | 11:42 |
| tjaalton | right | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | Uploaded | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | Now, I wonder where the client code setting WINOSDATA went | 11:44 |
| tjaalton | this was the removal of the diff? | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | ? | 11:44 |
| tjaalton | what got uploaded | 11:45 |
| tjaalton | I lost track :) | 11:45 |
| cjwatson | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5683444/ | 11:45 |
| tjaalton | oh that | 11:46 |
| tjaalton | could've merged 1.16 too ;) | 11:46 |
| tjaalton | er, 1.60 | 11:46 |
| cjwatson | meh, will do later | 11:46 |
| cjwatson | This way I get touched-it-last back and don't have to ask anyone ;-) | 11:47 |
| tjaalton | heh, true | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | Hm, it does seem that WINOSDATA was only ever added for migration-assistant, though | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | Maybe ubiquity is supposed to do it some other way | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: ^- Honestly I am hopelessly confused at this point. Do you remember how any of this works? | 11:56 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: so looking at the uploads I did around the same time as os-prober back in precise, I think that env variable was only ever used by migration-assistant | 15:12 |
| stgraber | there apparently was also a change to ubiquity to have it use a different cache of os-prober results when called by m-a then when called from the partitioning step | 15:14 |
