[Bug 557388] Re: Ubiquity crashes over recipe that leads to "Missing filesystem.size."

[Colin Watson]

Apparently e.g. unetbootin fails to copy this file, which is another
source of this kind of problem.  See bug 837186.  While I'm going to
stop ubiquity crashing in this case, (a) it would be good for
performance if unetbootin copied this file, and (b) I can't
retroactively fix old Ubuntu images but modern unetbootin code might
well be used with older Ubuntu images.

Title:
  Ubiquity crashes over recipe that leads to "Missing filesystem.size."

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unetbootin” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I'm having trouble getting a preseed to work with the new
  installer I believe the partition recipe is failing. It used to
  work on 9.04, now I get a "Missing filesystem.size." traceback from
  ubiquity (line 664).

  Here is the recipe :

  #  boot-root-home ::
  #    128 512 256 ext2
  #        $defaultignore{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        filesystem{ ext2 }
  #        mountpoint{ /boot }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .
  #    .
  #    500 4000 20000 $default_filesystem
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        $default_filesystem{ }
  #        mountpoint{ / }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .
  #    .
  #    96 512 300% linux-swap
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ swap }
  #        format{ } .
  #    .
  #    100 10000 -1 $default_filesystem 
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        $default_filesystem{ }
  #        mountpoint{ /home }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .

  
  Is it a bug or am I coding the preseed wrong ?

  If my preseed is wrong can you direct me towards uptodate
  documentation ?
