| wxl | hey folks. ubiquity can't handle resizing when the existing partition is encrypted LVM, right? cuz i can't get it to give me the auto resize option. | 16:27 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | wxl, correct. | 16:30 |
| wxl | xnox: danke :) | 16:30 |
| xnox | wxl, it can be done with pain by hand. or backup/reinstall/migrate. | 16:31 |
| wxl | xnox: yeah, i'm aware of that much. is there also some reason why it wouldn't offer the auto-resize option given a GPT table? | 16:32 |
| xnox | wxl, nobody coded to resize all layers; and it's also unpredictable how much one can resize encrypted lvm -> e.g. nobody knows how many extends can relocate and how much one can resize LVM. | 16:42 |
| wxl | xnox: the question about GPT was unrelated to the one about encrypted/LVM | 16:42 |
| xnox | wxl, both reuse and resize, are very hackish. | 16:42 |
| xnox | wxl, it does not care about partition table types, as far as i am aware. but multiple other conditions must be met for resize to be offered. | 16:43 |
| xnox | e.g. there should be resizable space calculated, and enough reclaimable space available for the new install, etc. | 16:44 |
| wxl | xnox: is this enough to figure out why it wasn't offered? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1663298/comments/17 | 16:44 |
| xnox | wxl, no that is not enough | 16:46 |
| xnox | wxl, one should use $ ubuntu-bug ubiquity | 16:46 |
| wxl | xnox: okie dokie | 16:47 |
| xnox | after running the installer up to options were not offered as expected and then logs attached will be more complete logs (and include partman logs) | 16:47 |
| xnox | wxl, note we need logs from d-i and partman; and ubiquity is just a fancy python wrapper around d-i =) | 16:47 |
| wxl | right right | 16:47 |
| wxl | thanks for the help, xnox | 16:47 |
| xnox | wxl, gparted should be available on the livecd | 16:47 |
| xnox | just use gparted to resize the partition, and then installer should offer to install things into the empty space, voila problem solved. | 16:48 |
| xnox | and it is fully graphical. | 16:48 |
| wxl | xnox: right. workarounds abound, but i think average joe might expect it to Just Work⢠| 16:48 |
| xnox | wxl, as far as i recall we don't offer tripple boot. only dual boot. | 16:49 |
| xnox | and there is already windows & ubuntu | 16:49 |
| wxl | oh | 16:49 |
| wxl | interesting | 16:49 |
| xnox | the logic goes, one does not need two ubuntu's | 16:49 |
| xnox | and hence only reuse/reintsll the ubuntu install is offered. | 16:49 |
| xnox | or custom partitioning. | 16:49 |
| wxl | well i can install some ubuntu and then i'm provided the option to install along side | 16:50 |
| wxl | i'll try doing a triple install and see if that fails | 16:50 |
| wxl | should have thought of that myself | 16:50 |
| xnox | humans don't tripple boot; only geeks do. | 16:51 |
| xnox | and ubuntu is for humans =) | 16:51 |
| wxl | right :) | 16:51 |
