Yes, the OS was installed where I wanted it to be, but grub was
installed to the wrong drive.
I think the fact that the install drive was /dev/vda might have made a
difference. That automatically put it at the end of an alphabetical
list, which could have confused grub-install.

So the original bug has been fixed, and the only issue is that grub may
be installed in wrong drive, right?

Title:
Ubiquity chooses which drive
I really don't think this is ubiquity's fault; more aiming to grub-
installer, the d-i component we call as part of ubiquity.
And yes, it's not at all a new issue, but something that's been
difficult to handle for a number of years. Install happens properly, but

When I do a side-by-side install, it's immediately after an entire-drive
install. The existing install is on /dev/vda1 and there's nothing else
on the drive. (The drive is virtIO.)
The USB stick is /dev/sda. I'm not installing from the USB stick, by the
way. I'm using an ISO file as CDROM. I had
There's clearly something odd happening then, because I am unable to
reproduce this on various hardware; installing from USB as I normally
do.
How are the drives partitioned to begin with? I wonder if something is
keeping grub from using the hard-drive on which it installed (as one

This is still happening in Eoan RC.
I was installing side-by-side to a VM. There was a USB stick inserted
with a connection to the VM (from a previous test). Grub installed to
the USB stick (/dev/sda, as distinct from /dev/vda for the main VM
drive). There was no place where I could tell grub

(It's kind of emergent behaviour from the fact that the underlying
resize_use_free method in partman-auto only offers one disk, and I think
the current documented design probably reflects that, but that doesn't
make it ideal.)

I would like to redesign this for Q, since it's come up several times as
a problem. However, it's been this way for a few releases, and we
aren't going to be able to do anything about it for 12.04 at this point.

I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you saying that this is expected behaviour -
that Ubuntu will start the install the moment you click on that option?

I'll try to explain a bit better. If you have two drives and neither
drive has adequate free space (as little as 4.4GB for Ubuntu I believe)
and you select Use entire drive another window opens that'll allow you
to choose which drive you wish to use.
But if you have two or more drives and there
Jane, I did a bunch of retesting - going back as far as Oneiric live
CD's - and I think we're OK. Maybe more accurately we're where the

Erase disk and install Ubuntu *does* give the choice of which drive to
use. Installing side-by-side should do the same.
