[Bug 2062060] Re: Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning without any warning
I'm slowing my roll about changing the configuration. After discussing this further, there are a couple reasons why this is probably bad: 1. It will mean that users used to using the Erase Disk option in Lubuntu will not get a swapfile by default. This goes against expected behavior. 2. Ubiquity installs a swapfile by default, so we'd be deviating from the canonical behavior in Ubuntu. 3. It's likely much easier to get a user doing manual partitioning (who we assume is a bit more sophisticated) to remove a swapfile than it is to get a less experienced user to install one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062060 Title: Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning without any warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calamares/+bug/2062060/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 2062060] Re: Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning without any warning
There's not really any good way around this. The default behavior in the old Ubiquity installer was (IIRC): * Don't create a swapfile by default when doing manual partitioning. * Create a swapfile by default for any other installation mode. With Calamares, we only have two options that aren't the same as this behavior: * Always create swap unless using Erase Disk mode and the user explicitly turns it off OR * Never create swap unless using Erase Disk mode and the user explicitly turns it on Both of these are different from Ubiquity's behavior. Going with "never create swap" has slightly more danger than going with "always create swap", and it has a higher chance of confusing a user who's used to Ubiquity. At some point (perhaps for the OO cycle), we should try and get in a feature that allows the user to customize which filesystem they want the swapfile to be on, like wxl mentioned. That would be my favorite solution, though it's too late to try it for this cycle. In the short term, we may need to just release note this bug and try to fix it via an SRU to add some notice that a swapfile is being created on the Summary screen, or disable swapfile creation when using manual partitioning (both options that wxl covered above). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062060 Title: Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning without any warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calamares/+bug/2062060/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
