[Brian Murray]

What is "grub-n-iso"? Where did it come from?

Title:
  no option to auto-resize when booted via 'grub-n-iso'

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During isotesting of Lubuntu, I did not get any option to auto-resize,
  only upgrade 14.04.2 LTS, erase 14.04.2 LTS, erase the whole drive,
  and 'something else'.

  It was not possible to run the testcase 'Install (auto-resize)'.

  (Furthermore, the system 'found' Linux Mint, but it was only a trace
  of an erased Linux Mint iso file and maybe some configuration file.)

  Edit:

  I think the problem was that I booted the installer via grub2 and the
  iso file: 'grub-n-iso', which seems to have confused the alternatives
  of the installer.
