Public bug reported: Apologies in advance, I know this gets a bit convoluted, but I've been working on verification for bug #1066347 as it relates to 12.04 for about 48 hours and I've run into many obstacles, some just relating to my lack of consistent testing of the "Reinstall - Documents, music, and other personal files will be kept. Installed software will be kept where possible. System-wide settings will be cleared" option. But first things first;
I began testing the "reinstall" option in Precise with an existing and updated Precise but I was not offered that option, only: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=230227&d=1358480760 Knowing that we began offering upgrade and reinstall options with Maverick I installed Oneiric and tried. This was OK, although it does say "upgrade Oneiric to Oneiric" rather than reinstall: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=230178&d=1358427210 I then tried an upgrade via live CD from Oneiric to Precise 20130115-i386 and all worked as expected. I then also tried Lucid -> Precise and again all was well. But since then I've tried numerous Precise -> Precise reinstall efforts and I always just get: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=230229&d=1358480760 The latest test was with Precise 20130117.1-i386. Since we have only about 4 weeks to get the 12.04.2 images right I hope we can get this fixed as I find the upgrade and reinstall options offered by the live images to be one of the best things we've ever done ;^) NOW, as to why I filed the bug this way. I guess apport doesn't think ubiquity is an official package anymore: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=230231&d=1358484133 Maybe I need to report a separate bug regarding that? FINALLY, the Quantal images seem to be fine if that matters. Apologies again but I'm a bit lost ....... maybe more than a bit. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101073 Title: Precise ubiquity fails to provide a reinstall option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1101073/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
