Hi again,I made another install, this time with preselection via gparted and labels. I did not install the pae kernel.
It worked, except that the previous operating systems were not found (and not listed in the grub menu).

Hi Israel, Testing again, this time revision 229. Things appear much more stable now at the advanced OBI level. Selecting root and swap partitions works :-) Bug 1: Selecting 'no swap' does not work, the previously selected swap partition remains selected. (minor bug, but annoying for people who might want to install into pendrives, and want no swap). You might consider removing the menu entry 'select No_swap' because it does not work if swap was already selected. But if there is no 'obiswap' partition, it is possible to skip selecting a swap partition, which I did in this test. -o- After rebooting into the installed system, partitions in the target drive (connected via USB) were recognized. I no longer need to run sudo update grub :-) Bug 2: But I got stuck with a '90 seconds delay' for some reason. I made a system without swap, but the old swap entry in /etc/fstab is still there, so I suspect that the system searched for a partition with that UUID, and finally gave up. So this is a bug. It does not work properly to create a system without swap. In such cases the swap entry in /etc/fstab should be commented away (better than removing it because it provides a template for manual fixing afterwards).

But sometimes I'm losing all hope, when we are fighting bugs in code that used to work.Yes, but it worked for the terminal + dialog version And now (revision 229) I tested and things workAnyhow.... with that code gone *revision 228* should completely fix this issue. I will test it as well. I have been testing the basic installer mostly, so I will test advanced on this one only, since I modified only the advanced code. Let me know if it works for USB drives, as well.The OBI-istalleer is getting better :-) Now it was possible to get into gparted via the built-in sequence. I could add the labels obiroot and obiswap and continue with the installation. The installation worked, and the installed system works. But there are still bugs. 1. I cannot select root partition and swap partition manually (in the zenity menu). It looks like I select, but nothing is changed. The original selection remains. If root and/or swap are not selected by the partition labels, they are impossible to select. At least I don't know how to do it with the OBI-installer. It seems the mechanism to store or propagate the selection from the menu has failed somehow. This worked before you started to fix the problem of 'moving the desktop' with wmctrl.Yes, I found the problem!!! select-part2 HERE is my fix. It took me a while, because the code you had worked, but made no sense at first until I tested things quite a few ways until I discovered what you meant to do (at least I think) You were making sure that the 'X' in sdX is a letter ## check answer for something like sda ## s="${ans:0:1}" ## d="${ans:1:1}" ## a="${ans:2:1}" ## [[ "${ans:2:1}" == [a-zA-Z] ]] checks to make sure it is a letter if [[ "${ans:1:1}" == "d" ]] && [[ "${ans:2:1}" == [a-zA-Z] ]] then ###etc fi This is the code that was there if [ "${ans:1:1}" == "d" ] && [ "${ans:2:1}" '>' "_" ] && [ "${ans:2:1}" '<' "~" ] then ## etc fi Which made no sense to me.... I also replaced (uses 2 external programs twice) rootpart=$(grep obi-root "$partitions"|cut -d: -f2) swappart=$(grep obi-swap "$partitions"|cut -d: -f2) With while read LINE || [ "$LINE" ] do case $LINE in obi-root:*)rootpart="${LINE/*:}";; obi-swap:*)swappart="${LINE/*:}";; *);; esac done < "$partitions" which only uses read (1 program for both)I have tested with the target drive connected internally and externally. It makes no difference in this case. I would say that this is a show-stopper. I don't think we should abandon selection of partitions via the zenity menus. It is awkward to use gparted for the selection, when there is no [other] editing of partitions.Fully agree2. Already existing operating systems in internal drives (including eSATA), but not in USB drives, are recognized and added to the grub menu. This problem remains, but we can live with it. (It is no show-stopper.)I might try to get this working better... but for now if you try 229 and things work we can sigh a big sigh of relief This has been a fun experience learning what OBI does and converting it to use zenity.. quite a neat bit of work involved! But, I think we are getting closer to the finish line!! A few more days until May... hopefully we can get the last bits in place. As long as no show stoppers exist we can release and I can test on the unstable branch more.-- Regards
