Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: migration-assistant
I am trying the shiny new migration assistant, but it fails to detect any
account, and ubiquity crashes. I attached the crash file from Apport, hope that
helps.
As you asked me in our e-mail discussion earlier, I also attached
/var/log/installer/debug, and /var/log/syslog.
I also ran sudo os-probe, and it gives the following:
$ sudo os-prober
/dev/hda1:Microsoft Windows XP Professionnel:Windows:chain
/dev/hda6:Ubuntu 6.10 (6.10):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/hdc3:Ubuntu feisty (development branch) (7.04):Ubuntu1:linux
This is perfectly, it detected all my OS's correctly, which is
encouraging I guess :-)
One thing that comes to mind : os-prober finds ROOT partitions (looking for
kernels I guess), but user accounts are in their respective, DIFFERENT
partitions. Does migration-assistant handles this ?
In my case, for Edgy, root partition is hda6, but /home is on /hda7. And for
Feisty, root is /hdc3 but /home is on /hdc5.
HTH
