Description

Expert partitioner failed on several occasions in the past. Current installer openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20190307-Media.iso again has an issue: Deleting a partition will fail. Automatic testing of all options is recommended.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC: Enable one of the test suites which uses Expert Partitioner for UEFI + NET installation media

Suggestions

lvm-encrypt-separate-boot or RAID1 tests are good candidates for the scenario.
We can try to reuse schedule raid1_gpt_uefi.yaml which is specific for uefi, but instead of using in arm for sle, in this case apply it to tw net installation.
We don't remove partitions in any tests, I will create test for that.

Maybe just scheduling btrfs+warnings for NET media is enough to cover it: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/876279#step/partitioning_warnings/43
scheduled for Tumbleweed development job group: https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/job_templates/38

Karl, could you describe the steps to reproduce?

Steps to reproduce are discussed starting here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/535149-efibootmgr-won-t-print-additional-information?p=2896342#post2896342

Short version: Select an existing partition and press "Delete".

I don't see any steps to reproduce in that ticket.
One data I got from the ticket is that it happens on UEFI, so, scheduling also for UEFI on Tumbleweed development job group.

This missing data is so important to know that I was scheduling the legacy one. Maybe there it works, and then we get again to the point where we say that our tests pass and users complaining that our tests are screwed up.

Please, take it as a constructive critic. openSUSE doesn't have enough resources to test infinite combinations of use cases. That means, that some users may encounter problems that we (and our tests) din't. But, we are willing to include real use cases from user's feedback. But, for that we need a complete even exhaustive description of how to reproduce the bug. I fear that with your description, we will still miss your use case and nothing will be resolved.
We already covered all the actions mentioned in that mail chain. So, the problem is triggered doing this action in combination with something else. We will see if the combination with UEFI and NET installer is the cause. If not, something is missing.

This is a closer description to the environment needed to reproduce the problem about not possible to delete partitions: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/535149-efibootmgr-won-t-print-additional-information?p=2896622#post2896622

Which actually states that the error happens when using the "guided partitioner" and selecting "remove even if not needed". So, it may not be reproducible by manually deleting a partition.

@SLindoMansilla please track the bug and depending on the outcome close, make the ticket workable or move to QSF-y by replacing the [u] in the subject line with [y] when the time comes, thx.

I was actually waiting for having valid results on the scheduled test suite, but, since it seems clear that the cause of the problem is different. Let's continue in the bug ticket if it is needed to create a new test.

The test suites are already scheduled in the development job group.

But, the problem to be solved is different.

ok, but every job in the development job group should have an open ticket attached until we can move the scenario into a validation job group.

The test needs adaption for NET install: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/880685#step/partitioning_warnings/34

This needs to be properly planned.

Problem has been identified by @okurz and a ticket has opened [0]

[0] https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/55052#Workaround

Another solution that seems to work for now is to rename the ovmf-x86_64-ms-code.bin

iob@aquarius /usr/share/qemu $ sudo cp ovmf-x86_64-ms-code.bin ovmf-x86_64-ms.bin
