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

[Geza Kovacs]

I don't believe that UNetbootin is actually leaving out filesystem.size
(at any rate I just tried running several versions it on various
platform to create a Ubuntu 11.10 live USBs and the file is indeed there
every time); rather it seems that the bug reports where , for whatever
reason, the users unmounted /cdrom before starting the installer, in
which case of course it wouldn't be found; see, for example
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/875190 (first
line: "Did umount -l -r -f /media/cdrom before starting the installer")
and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10225227 ("... it seems
like people got it right by manually unmounting /cdrom.  When I tried
that however..."); those 2 are the only references that I have found
that seem to claim that UNetbootin left out the file. So unless there's
actually someone who has  actually checked the filesystem and found that
the filesystem.size file is missing, this should be marked invalid for
UNetbootin.

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

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 ?
