[Bug 1155216] Re: Unable to umount isodevice

[Psi-Jack]

Is this bug ever going to be resolved? It's been active and unassigned
since 2013, and no resolution but this manual step, and it doesn't just
effect Ubuntu, but all Ubuntu-family distributions, Linux Mint,
elementary OS included.

I'm trying to make multi-boot USBs that I can pass out to new/existing
Linux users in various locations, including LUGs and such, but I cannot
simply tell people, "For these distributions, you need to do these extra
steps in order to actually install it".

Every other distro I have included, works perfectly. Even Debian.

Title:
  Unable to umount isodevice

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing from an iso file, with grub's loopback option,
  Ubiquity displays a message stating the isodevice cannot be unmounted,
  even when the isofile is not located on the same harddrive as the
  installation target.

  sudo umount -l -r -f /isodevice

  solves this problem, so Ubiquity should be able to issue this command
  by itself, without any user action.
