Bug Description
Lubuntu hirsute (daily) QA-test install on
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
Testcase: install alongside
Note: Lubuntu should be using the `calamares` installed, but due to https:/
Prior to install there was one partition (sda1) which contained Ubuntu hirsute (a prior QA-test install).
It was tested & booted normally prior to this QA-test
** expected result
Post-Lubuntu install; I have two systems
- ubuntu hirsute (boots & operates as it did prior to this QA-test install)
- lubuntu hirsute install
Both available via grub
** actual result
- ubuntu fails to boot; recovery console only
- lubuntu install works perfectly.
** changes noticed
From a single partition (sda1 using all disk space) I now have
sda1 ext4
sda2 fat32 /boot/efi in lubuntu
sda3 extended
sda5 ext4 / for lubuntu
I wonder if the addition of the fat32 has altered the booting of ubuntu hirsute.
I'd really like to search the iso.qa.ubu test results & find my last ubuntu hirsute install to confirm how I recorded the tests.... When I booted ubuntu; I expected it to fail to boot (been having loads of failures lately with Ubuntu hirsute on BIOS boxes) but it booted correctly, looked good so I expected the same post this install... I'm wondering if the successful boot was just a fluke (but that's likely worse!)
This whole bug report maybe pointless due to aforementioned Lubuntu using `ubiquity` to install issue.. but I've reported in case it shows an issue with Ubuntu ubiquity (and BIOS/non-EFI install where ESP partition is added) on pre-EFI boxes, and I need a bug report to fail the iso.qa.ubuntu.com result..
