Public bug reported: I became aware of this problem by reading this forum post: https://www .vdr-portal.de/forum/index.php?thread/133200-yavdr-experimental-f%C3 %BCr-ubuntu-20-04-yavdr-ansible-focal/&postID=1325428#post1325428 so I am not able to do an explicit debug run.
curtain parses the output of a subprocess call like "sfdisk --dump /dev/sdb", which can look like this: label: dos label-id: 0x0007ca9c device: /dev/sdb unit: sectors /dev/sdb1 : start= 2048, size= 29294592, type=83, bootable /dev/sdb2 : start= 29296640, size= 28682240, type=83 /dev/sdb3 : start= 57985022, size= 2872291330, type=5 /dev/sdb5 : start= 2927134720, size= 3141632, type=82 /dev/sdb6 : start= 57985024, size= 29294592, type=83 /dev/sdb7 : start= 87281664, size= 2839851008, type=83 The method _sfdisk_parse_lines(lines) (https://github.com/canonical/curtin/blob/master/curtin/block/__init__.py#L251 ff.) expects key-value pairs in the style key=value, which isn't the case for any partition flags. As a side node: The output of sfdisk for gpt-formatted disks can contain partition names, so splitting the right hand side string of the colon by ',' (https://github.com/canonical/curtin/blob/master/curtin/block/__init__.py#L259 ff.) without proper parsing of quotes (e.g. using shlex.split() https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html) could cause additional issues if the partition name contains one or more commata. ** Affects: curtin Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: curtain focal installer server ** Attachment added: "install.log.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875903/+attachment/5363536/+files/install.log.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of curtin developers, which is subscribed to curtin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875903 Title: Curtin fails if a partition with bootable flag is present Status in curtin: New Bug description: I became aware of this problem by reading this forum post: https://www .vdr-portal.de/forum/index.php?thread/133200-yavdr-experimental-f%C3 %BCr-ubuntu-20-04-yavdr-ansible-focal/&postID=1325428#post1325428 so I am not able to do an explicit debug run. curtain parses the output of a subprocess call like "sfdisk --dump /dev/sdb", which can look like this: label: dos label-id: 0x0007ca9c device: /dev/sdb unit: sectors /dev/sdb1 : start= 2048, size= 29294592, type=83, bootable /dev/sdb2 : start= 29296640, size= 28682240, type=83 /dev/sdb3 : start= 57985022, size= 2872291330, type=5 /dev/sdb5 : start= 2927134720, size= 3141632, type=82 /dev/sdb6 : start= 57985024, size= 29294592, type=83 /dev/sdb7 : start= 87281664, size= 2839851008, type=83 The method _sfdisk_parse_lines(lines) (https://github.com/canonical/curtin/blob/master/curtin/block/__init__.py#L251 ff.) expects key-value pairs in the style key=value, which isn't the case for any partition flags.
