NEW ELEMENTS:
- Debian testing and Ubuntu12.04 (os-prober 1.51) are affected by the bug:
their os-prober detect Fedora16 but not Fedora17.
- Ubuntu11.04 (os-prober 1.44) detects Fedora17
So the bug seems to be a regression of os-prober. And it seems to be
restricted to the detection of Fedora17.
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.51
Initially reported on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1038093
The os-prober of Ubuntu does not detect Fedora when Fedora's partition is
unmounted (which is frequent). Consequence: Fedora does not appear in
Ubuntu's GRUB menu.

Does NOT work ANY MORE:
With /boot:
$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
ls: cannot access /media/Vista/Boot
boot: No such

Sorry, in both cases (with or without /boot folder), I get this output:
$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
/dev/sda1:::chain
/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux
Opa!
Output with /boot and patch:
$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
+ . /usr/share/os-prober/common.sh
+ cleanup_tmpdir=false
+ cleanup_ro_partitions=
+ progname=
+ type mapdevfs
+ partition=/dev/sda1
+ mpoint=/media/Vista
+ type=fuseblk
+ debug /dev/sda1 is a FUSE partition
+ log debug: /dev/sda1 is a FUSE

Bom dia Otavio
-> Output with the patch and the (empty) /boot folder :
~$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
+ . /usr/share/os-prober/common.sh
+ cleanup_tmpdir=false
+ cleanup_ro_partitions=
+ progname=
+ type mapdevfs
+ part
2nd patch does not work either:
patch and boot folder:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
ls: cannot access : No such file or directory
ls: cannot access : No such file or directory
ls: cannot access : No such file or directory
/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sda6:Ubuntu 11.04
Thanks Otavio.
Unfortunately, your patch does not solve the bug. Please see below the
os-prober output I get in 3 configurations:
1) Normal output (no /boot folder in the Windows partition) :
/dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux
2) Output when
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.44ubuntu1
If the Windows partition contains a /boot/grub/core.img folder (this occurs
when beginners install GRUB by mistake in the Windows partition), os-prober
won't detect Windows any more.
I believe this is due to the fact that there are 2 folders with similar
