 It is supposed to find it.  There is a bug in Ubuntu 12.04:
 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1038093
 
 This was reported more than a year ago.
 
 That bugs.Launchpad notes an upstream fix a year ago, so the bug was marked
 as Fix Released almost a year ago.
 
 But no update to 12.04 has been issued.
 
 This is an example of why I am less comfortable with Ubuntu.
 
 
 I had similar problems with Fedora that were resolved more quickly:
 
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882568 Fedora could not mount
 the Ubuntu partition for examination because it wasn't SELinux labelled.
 Of course requiring a Ubuntu partition to be labelled for Fedora isn't
 reasonable.
 
Do you have the SELinux AVC messages that was blocking this?
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995777 Not a Fedora bug.
 Fedora could not mount the Ubuntu partition because Ubuntu didn't cleanly
 unmount it.  An fsck was required.
