Title:
calamares wants to install to 3.5" 1.44MB floppy (& boot loader will
get written to /dev/fd0 if sda selected)
Status in Calamares:
Fix Released
Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Lubuntu 20.04 QA-test install on
dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
testcase: install with existing partition (sda8 is existing /home, sda9 will
be used for /)
Expected :
System has only a single HDD, so I'd expect to select my partitions
from hdd, and not have any options for /dev/fd0
Actual :
The systems seems to want to install to my 3.5" floppy ??
It's a 3.5" 1.44MB one too, but it's reporting ~1920GB??
If I select HDD partitions, the install will fail because boot loader
will be attempted to be written to /dev/fd0 (maybe that would work if
floppy is in drive & box actually booted floppy)
Detail:
This issue ONLY occurs if a floppy is in the drive during boot. If no
floppy is in drive install works flawlessly (#3, #10), but as noted in
comment #8 if floppy is in drive during boot, even if selected
partition is /dev/sda it seems to want to install boot loader to
/dev/fd0 (see also
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1873168)
The floppy was only recently enabled in BIOS because of an ask.ubuntu support
request, so prior installs on this box wouldn't have seen the FDD
I'll look at this when I can.. I'll provide pic & calamares log
(haven't exited or run install yet). The floppy could be corrupted &
creating the issue (it contains some word perfect files from 1994
only; and happened to be left in drive from ask.ubu support use).
(( Also all play I did with floppy was in 18.04 system as that was
what OP on ask.ubu was using ))
