Public bug reported: In Calamares, when doing Manual Partitioning, there is no option to choose whether or not to create a swapfile as there is with the Erase Disk option. Instead, one would need to create it outside of the installer. However, a swapfile is created nonetheless. This is neither indicated in the Partitions panel, nor in the Summary panel, as one would expect.
This appears to be caused by the `initialSwapChoice` value in /etc/calamares/modules/partition.conf which is set to `file`. Changing it to `none` eliminates the issue. So there are two things that need to be fixed here: 1. Calamares itself needs a change, including one or more of: 1. Provide an option in Manual Partitioning to choose swapfile options 2. Show the creation of swapfiles in the Summary panel 3. Don't consider the value of `initialSwapChoice` when doing Manual Partitioning 2. calamares-settings-ubuntu should change the value of `initialSwapChoice` to `none`, at least while these bugs in Calamares exist ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: calamares 3.3.5-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-22.22-generic 6.8.1 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-22-generic x86_64 .etc.calamares.modules.after_bootloader_context.conf: --- dontChroot: false timeout: 120 firmwareType: "*": "-rm ${ROOT}/home/${USER}/Desktop/lubuntu-calamares.desktop" .etc.calamares.modules.finished.conf: --- restartNowMode: user-checked restartNowCommand: "systemctl -i reboot" .etc.calamares.modules.fstab.conf: crypttabOptions: luks,keyscript=/bin/cat efiMountOptions: umask=0077 .etc.calamares.modules.shellprocess_logs.conf: --- dontChroot: true timeout: 30 script: - calamares-logs-helper ${ROOT} .etc.calamares.modules.unpackfs.conf: --- unpack: - source: "/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs" sourcefs: "squashfs" destination: "" ApportVersion: 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CasperVersion: 1.496 CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Wed Apr 17 12:48:11 2024 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Beta amd64 (20240415) RelatedPackageVersions: calamares-settings-ubuntu-common 1:24.04.28 calamares-settings-lubuntu 1:24.04.28 xfsprogs 6.6.0-1ubuntu2 btrfs-progs 6.6.3-1.1build2 SourcePackage: calamares UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Lubuntu Developers (lubuntu-dev) Status: Triaged ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug noble ** Also affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Assignee: Lubuntu Developers (lubuntu-dev) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu) Milestone: ubuntu-24.04 => None ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Lubuntu Developers (lubuntu-dev) ** Changed in: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-24.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062060 Title: Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning without any warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2062060/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
