I find the current (23.04) wording confusing, and have difficulty in figuring out how this is different from the "manual partitioning re- using home partition" reinstall variant. E.g. should the existing /home partition be removed and then a new one created? Or do I just leave the existing one there and change the other partitions?
If the original /home partition is retained and not formatted, then I'd expect it to retain the browsing history etc. Yet this is considered a fail. I agree with adrien-n that it would help if the intention of this test were clearer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual Tests. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993663 Title: Reinstall+erase: unconfigured /home mount leads to false success. Status in Ubuntu Manual Tests: New Bug description: testcase: "Install (erase and re-install) in Ubuntu Desktop amd64 in Kinetic Daily " The test is supposed to check that the /home filesystem has been wiped. UPDATE: I made a mistake since I had missed something in the testcase near the end. It is expected that the new installation doesn't re-use the /home partition from the first installation. However I also think the testcase should be improved by providing a way to check the data in the now-unused /home partition has been indeed deleted if that is indeed what is wanted. Possible mprovements: - after chosing to re-install, the installer displays what will be done to partitions: this should include formatting the previously-used /home partition (which requires remembering the partition numbers seen when partitioning for the first install), - try to mount the previous /home partition and if it doesn't fail, then 'ls' it to check that it is empty.
