[Bug 1108327] [NEW] ubuntu folder not created on a disk made by usb-creator

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

On a usb stick that I created with usb-creator there was no "ubuntu"
folder, subsequently update-notifier did not detect this as a volume
with packages on it.  However, if I dd a .iso file to a partition on my
usb stick the "ubuntu" folder, actually a symlink to ., is created.

Here is the relevant checking code from update-notifier:

check_mount_point_for_packages (const char *mount_point, gpointer data)
{
   if (!mount_point)
      return;
   //g_print("checking mount point %s\n", p);

   char *ubuntu_dir = g_strdup_printf("%s/ubuntu",mount_point);
   char *cdromupgrade = g_strdup_printf("%s/cdromupgrade",mount_point);
   char *aptoncd_file = g_strdup_printf("%s/aptoncd.info",mount_point);
   if(! (g_file_test (ubuntu_dir, G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK) ||
         g_file_test (cdromupgrade, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS) ||
         g_file_test (aptoncd_file, G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR) )) {
      g_free(ubuntu_dir);
      g_free(cdromupgrade);
      g_free(aptoncd_file);
      return;
   }
   g_free(ubuntu_dir);
   g_free(cdromupgrade);
   g_free(aptoncd_file);
