[22:43] <ratpats> crossposting from #ubuntu --- should have posted here first!
[22:43] <ratpats> hiya!  Trying to install ubuntu lunar beta from the iso.  I have a preexisting LVM I'd like to use.  I've enabled it with vgchange -a y and it's clearly there and mountable, but the manual partitioner in the graphical installer can't see it, so I can't choose it to install onto.
[22:43] <ratpats> Am I missing something obvious, or is this not/no longer supported?
[22:43] <ratpats> I do see an lvm option under 'advanced' in the installer, but only if I'm erasing the disk to do a new install.
[22:51] <guiverc> ratpats, i can't help, but which ISO are you using?  you've not said (desktop? desktop-alterante? server?)
[22:51] <ratpats> desktop!  
[22:52] <ratpats> I just realized that lunar has a new flutter-based installer!  I'm installing ubiquity just to see if lvm support is working in that.
[22:53] <guiverc> ratpats, the desktop has an alterante ISO which uses ubiquity... why I mentioned two ISOs for desktop
[22:53] <ratpats> aha.  Yes, it's not the alternate one.  It's ubuntu-23.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso
[22:54] <ratpats> I'm just doing apt install ubiquity (in the installer boot environment) just because I'm behind a slow internet connection so downloading the whole iso again will take a while!
[22:55] <ratpats> but yeah.  I'll update this channel when I know if this is something that works in ubiquity but not the new installer.
[22:55] <guiverc> you can use zsync to only download differences in an ISO, not the whole ISO.
[22:55] <ratpats> oo, good point
[22:59] <ratpats> Update: Ubiquity sees a preexisting LVM volume.  The new installer *does not*.
[22:59] <ratpats> should this be reported as a bug, or is it expected behavior?
[23:14] <guiverc> ratpats, if in doubt I'd always file a bug... if it's expected behavior it will be reported as such & bug closed; but you'll get your answer.  Please report it
[23:14] <JanC> anything that is a regression is a bug
[23:18] <JanC> even if it might be too late to fix it for 23.04 maybe...?
[23:19] <ratpats> I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-installer/+bug/2014977 !
[23:19] -ubottu:#ubuntu-next- Launchpad bug 2014977 in ubuntu-desktop-installer "Existing LVM volume group missing in new installer" [Undecided, New]
[23:24] <guiverc> thank you ratpats , if you can find the ubiquity log for your install (that worked), uploading that assist the devs who work on it.  Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
[23:24]  * guiverc hasn't looked at your bug report sorry; no time
[23:26] <ratpats> that's okay!  No rush, just wanted to update this channel for completeness!
[23:27] <ratpats> guiverc: haven't run the install all the way through yet --- let me do that, then upload the log.
[23:28] <ratpats> Anything from ubuntu-desktop-installer that might be worth attaching as well?
[23:30]  * guiverc sorry can't think of anything, but I'm busy on other stuff & only noticing this on occasion with limited mental-cycles allocated to ubuntu stuff sorry
[23:30] <ratpats> oh totally fine
[23:30] <ratpats> sorry for the noise!
[23:31]  * guiverc thinks noise/reporting findings to channel, inc. bugs filed is good! so thank you..
[23:31] <ratpats> thank you!
