[Bug 2045535] Re: Only one disk shows in Xubuntu auto-resize partitioning dialogue

[Jane Atkinson]

This appears to be a ubiquity-only bug. It doesn't appear in either
Subiquity or Calamares - tested in a VM with an external USB drive
attached. The USB drive appears in Grub, which is to be expected, but
the installers don't attempt to install to it.

Unless there's some flavour that I'm not aware of still using Ubiquity,
could this bug be closed?

Title:
  Only one disk shows in Xubuntu auto-resize partitioning dialogue

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The ISO version is Xubuntu Noble 20231204. I tried to report this from
  the ISO using apport-bug, but it wouldn't play.

  When installing on an Acer TravelMate 4740 laptop, I may have a
  bootable SD card in the slot. If I forget to take this out, the
  installer wants to install to it and won't let me select the main
  (500GB) drive. (It is not even a greyed-out option.) As far as I'm
  aware, no other testcase is doing this.

  I would expect the installer to default to the large drive, or at
  least give me the choice of which drive I want to install to.

  If I remove the SD card, the installer finds the larger drive without
  problems.
