[Bug 530252] Re: os-prober fails to recognize linux installations with crypted root partition

[Robie Basak]

Ah. Thanks!

In that case, I think this kind of feature should be added upstream, and
isn't something that it's appropriate for Ubuntu to maintain a delta for
indefinitely.

@Nathaniel thank you for the contribution but we are unable to take this
directly into Ubuntu for this reason. I'll set the bug task for Ubuntu
to Won't Fix and will reject the merge proposal. However, you could
consider submitting this to Debian. If they take it, then a future
Ubuntu release will support this case by default.

Title:
  os-prober fails to recognize linux installations with crypted root
  partition

Status in os-prober package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: os-prober

  On Karmic, os-prober fails to recognize linux installations with LUKS
  crypted root partition (which is pretty common on laptops nowadays).

  linux-boot-prober at least finds partitions when they are luksOpen'ed,
  but /usr/lib/os-probes-mounted/90linux-distro doesn't even try to look
  at /dev/mapper partitions or to use linux-boot-prober.
