[03:15] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Looks like we might need another ISO respin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/2038883
[03:15] -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2038883 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity missing auto-resize disk partioning option" [Undecided, New]
[03:29] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Except it's not? (I tested it myself and it's there)
[03:29] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Strange. I will re-download the ISO.
[03:30] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> It won't show if the drive can't be resized for whatever reason.
[03:30] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> It was there a couple days ago and the resize bar worked fine.
[03:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Exactly. There have been no updates to ubiquity since Oct 5.
[03:33] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Can you think of any scenario's that would cause the resize option not to display?  The target disk had a 512M efi boot partition and a single EXT4 partition.  I selected other drives attempting to toggle more options, but no...
[03:34] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Did the EXT4 partition have Kubuntu (or any other Linux OS) already installed on it?
[03:36] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Yes. Kubuntu 23.10 was installed using the "Entire Disk" option.
[03:37] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> You also mentioned more than one drive. As far as I know, the Guided - Auto Resize option only presents if there's one single drive. Try it in a virtual machine.
[03:38] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> However, I will say this: a respin should be dropping very shortly.
[03:38] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> i will test with 2nd drive unplugged....
[03:39] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Turns out someone forgot to update base-files, so it still says "Development Release" except for the new .iso images coming out.
[03:39] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> But when tested a couple of days ago, the 2nd drive was present.. .but I may have reset the partition table on it after the previous install.
[03:39] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Yikes. Resetting the partition table would definitely do it.
[03:40] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Yes, I saw the Dev,. relasee comment in the lsb_release message.
[03:40] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Yep. Someone skipped a step on the release prep checklist.
[03:40] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> This is an old laptop with test drives in it. Perfect for stomping and testing.
[03:41] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Oh, awesome. I have one of those lying around.
[03:41] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Or, did. Sadly, its GPU went the way of the do-do.
[03:51] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Unplugging the 2nd disk enabled the guided resize.... hmm... now to play with the partition table on the 2nd drive to see what combo allows for guided install.
[04:04] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> The 2nd drive had a new partition table but no partitions.  By creating and formatting a partition on the 2nd drive, I am now presented with an auto-resize option and the auto-resize slider is working just fine.
[04:06] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I had tested the LVM setup in previous install and reset the drive partition table to eliminate the LVM partition.  I will update bug report and set priority to low.  The installer still should allow auto resizing even under the previous circumstances.
[04:14] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Very strange.  Now the Resize option will only allow the selection of the 2nd disk.... the 1st disk must have something wrong with the partition table (residual OEM flags or something strange.... stomping on it's partition table now...)
[04:29] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> I can't wait for ubiquity ride off into the sunset.
[04:31] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Ditto!
[04:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Honestly, I will say this: with the new installer (the gui flutter wrapper for subiquity), Canonical has no motivation to further update Ubiquity. I'm going to be moving Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio to the new installer, and I strongly urge all other flavors to do the same. Ubiquity has so much technical debt it's just not worth it.
[04:32] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I looked into the code base in an attempt to make some changes... total chaos.  Amazing that it works at all.
[04:34] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> I moved Ubuntu Studio from Calamares to Ubiquity (GTK) for this release only, and I struggled just to make sure the theming was correctly applied and that the text was black-on-white on that very auto-resize box. Chasing down the code took hours. So much technical debt.

[13:38] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[19:45] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> @DarinMiller I had your bug happen on every attempt with Ubuntu Studio just now, even after attempting an install alongside 23.04 (it wouldn't let me). I have a few more tricks up my sleeve, but I'm about to confirm your bug. It might be higher priority if it happens on an "install alongside" 22.04.
[19:56] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I was able to override with a manual install, but not desirable for a new user.
[20:13] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> Exactly. I'm about to comment on your bug, attach a screenshot, bump it to critical, fail it on Ubuntu Studio, and test it on Ubuntu Desktop Legacy to see how it goes there.
[20:39] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> @DarinMiller So, myself and David Mohammed of Ubuntu Budgie figured it out: it depends on the amount of drive space needed to fully uncompress what's in the squashfs to install the system and add a swapfile all before removing unneeded ubiquity dependencies. For Ubuntu Studio, that amounts to 24.4 GB.
[20:39] <IrcsomeBot> <Eickmeyer> I needed a minimum of 64GB virtual drive space to make that even show up.
[20:48] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Good find.
