[Bug 1038093] Re: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package os-prober - 1.57ubuntu1

---------------
os-prober (1.57ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #1038093).  Remaining changes:
    - Mount btrfs subvolume @ when present to access a btrfs formatted
      rootfs.
    - When called with WINOSDATA, return the list of Windows partitions
      containing the system instead of only listing these containing the
      bootrecord.

os-prober (1.57) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Deal with grub-probe exiting with non zero status on some
    devices, which in turns can stuck update-grub
    Closes: #680084

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Fix detection of Fedora and other distros that moved /lib into /usr
    and left behind a symlink. Grub's filesystem code does not support
    symlinks. Closes: #685159 Thanks Andreas Bombe for the patch.

Title:
  [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu

Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “os-prober” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The os-prober of Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 does not detect
  Fedora17/ArchLinux when Fedora17/ArchLinux's partition is unmounted
  (which is frequent). Consequence: Fedora17/ArchLinux does not appear
  in Ubuntu's GRUB menu.

  This bug did not exist with the os-prober of 11.10, so it is a
  regression of os-prober.

  The os-prober of 12.04 correctly detects Fedora16 but not Fedora17.

  WORKAROUND: mount the Fedora17/ArchLinux partition before doing
  update-grub in Ubuntu.

  Bug confirmed by several French users with Fedora17 and Ubuntu12.04
  /12.10 (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9695571#p9695571
  and http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=57393 ).
