Public bug reported: When installing oneiric alpha 3 with the hd-media image, the iso-scan udeb is searching for an iso on a disk but if a folder name contains spaces, (ie: Documents and Settings) an error occurs and the search stops.
my setup: booting from usb disk /dev/sdb1 on system with one local disk and one usb disk /dev/sda1 (Win 7) /dev/sda2 (/boot) /dev/sda3 (lvm) /dev/sda4 (lvm) /dev/sdb1 (install image with preseed) I am not sure of the correct way to fix this but I find that changing line number 162 of the var/lib/dpkg/info/iso-scan.postinst file from isolist=$(find $dir $opt -name "*.iso" -o -name "*.ISO" 2>/dev/null) to isolist=$(find "$dir" $opt -name "*.iso" -o -name "*.ISO" 2>/dev/null) fixes the problem on my system The installer boot image I am using is from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ and as of today, the udeb.list file says that the package version of iso-scan is 1.35ubuntu1 Note that this is my first bug report so I am not sure how to create a proper patch attachment Thanks, Sylvain ** Affects: iso-scan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: installer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838720 Title: Crash on folder name with spaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iso-scan/+bug/838720/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
