Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug. -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
Hi all, I encountered this issue on using ubuntu 8.10 desktop i386 32-bit desktop version as well. The behavior is still with the version in ubiquity. What it should be showing is the hdd requirement in MB or GB or MiB or GiB . One has to calculate the bytes to come to an understanding. For simplification I'm taking GiB as a base (1024*1024*1024) = 1073741824 and then divide whatever it says by this number to get how many GiB needs . Ubiquity says roughly 2.4 GiB for / if /boot and /home are on different partitions. For somebody who's completely a newbie to GNU/Linux its just numbers and he doesn't get any info. as to what's needed. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
I've had a similar problem (see attached screenshot). In my case the size in bytes that it quotes is '/home' which is obviously nonsensical. In my case when I continue my installation it fails (see bug #205359), though I had that problem in beta but did not have the partition size problem in the beta, so they may be unrelated. ** Attachment added: partition_warning.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13940224/partition_warning.png -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I did not have this warning pop up when performing the same install using the 64-bit version of the desktop iso. Also the installation completed without errors. This indicates that the drive was indeed fine and the problem is with the installer on the 32-bit version. -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
1. Yes, that is quite odd. Please stick `set -x` in the top of /lib/partman/check.d/12system_partitions_formatted and attach /var/log/syslog to this bug report after that message pops up. 2. It tells you which mount point is too small. I think that's suitable, but why do you think that the device name would be better? 3. Indeed, I had hoped to fix that in this release cycle, but I missed the string freeze cutoff so it will have to wait for 8.04.1 or 8.10. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
1. Attached. (I clicked on the Continue in the message dialog and then saved the syslog.) 2. Sigh, I actually overlooked the / character, since it looked like a stray character to me. If it was with a partition with a longer name (i.e. /mnt), I am sure I would not have overlooked it. ** Attachment added: syslog http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13674530/syslog -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Terribly sorry, I goofed and referred you to the wrong file.

[Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
Attached syslog with the correct script traced as you specified. This time I tried 10GB HDD instead of 12GB, it appeared again, the number seemed very similar to the one in screenshot (1999 ... I did not actually check all the digits, but guess it was the same). Also this time I attached the syslog right after the dialog appears, but before hitting any button on it (like Go Back or Continue). ** Attachment added: syslog http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13710466/syslog -- Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219568] Re: Partitioner displays partition too small-like incorrect message
It is in fact (erroneously) complaining about the swap partition. I think this should be fixed by this change I committed for ubiquity 1.8.6: * Fix partition_too_small check only to warn about partitions that are not free space, are not marked as do not use, and are marked for use with a filesystem.
