** Tags added: apport-collected ubiquity-22.04.11 wayland-session

** Description changed:

  Test Case 1:
  ------------
  0. Install Fedora 36 Beta
  1. Use the latest Ubuntu 22.04 daily image to install Ubuntu
  
  Expected:
  The boot menu list includes Fedora
  
  What happens instead:
  The system boots directly into Ubuntu without showing the grub screen since Ubuntu is the only available system.
  
  Other Info:
  ----------
  This worked when I installed Windows 11 first then installed Ubuntu by choosing Install Alongside Windows.
  
  I'm going to test this with Fedora again.

Title:
  After installing Ubuntu 22.04 next to Fedora, no option to boot Fedora

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Test Case 1:
  ------------
  0. Install Fedora 36 Beta
  1. Use the latest Ubuntu 22.04 daily image to install Ubuntu

  Expected:
  The boot menu list includes Fedora

  What happens instead:
  The system boots directly into Ubuntu without showing the grub screen since Ubuntu is the only available system.

  Other Info
  ----------
  I first did a default Fedora install. Whole disk. It used btrfs by default. No encryption. No LVM. No separate boot partition. There was a EFI partition when I used GNOME Boxes for this install.

  When I booted Ubuntu, I had to use gparted to resize the Fedora btrfs
  partition since the Ubuntu installer would not prompt to do it
  automatically (no Install Alongside option).

  I then tried the workaround to add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false to
  /etc/default/grub . When I ran sudo update-grub , Fedora still wasn't
  recognized.

  So my guess is that Ubuntu's os-prober doesn't recognize a boot
  directory on a btrfs partition?

  Test Case 2
  -----------
  Successful.
  I installed Windows 11 first. Then I installed Ubuntu by choosing Install Alongside Windows. The boot menu list included Windows (and Ubuntu).
