- <cjwatson> melodie: It's in the pool, not in the squashfs; manifest only lists the latter. See .list

- <melodie> hi cjwatson
- <cjwatson> The pool has various packages as .debs that don't make sense in the squashfs but need to be available for optional or opportunistic installation.
- <cjwatson> Arguably grub-pc shouldn't be in the squashfs either, but there's probably some reason it's tedious to avoid.
- * lutostag (~lutostag@74.212.167.2) a rejoint #ubuntu-devel
- <melodie> is that why the command "apt-cache policy grub-efi" doesn't show it as installed?
- * fooctrl (~havoc@2a00:1630:13:1d3:b0a1:7760:3888:de93) a rejoint #ubuntu-devel
- <cjwatson> It won't show it as installed if you're looking in a live session, no.
- <melodie> I mean in the live
- <melodie> ok
- <cjwatson> That's expected and normal.
- * pmcgowan (~pat@205.sub-70-192-20.myvzw.com) a rejoint #ubuntu-devel
- <cjwatson> Though I also wouldn't expect literally "grub-efi" to be installed, since that's a transitional package.
- <melodie> where in the iso is the pool? Is it even there?
- <cjwatson> It's carefully hidden in the top-level directory named "pool"
- <melodie> that would be grub-efi-amd64 or so perhaps?
- <cjwatson> Just to make it hard for you to find
- <cjwatson> It would be grub-efi-amd64, yes
- <melodie> ok
- <melodie> one more that none knew, if you don't mind. Do Windows updates risk to damage the Grub installed bootloader later, making the access to Ubuntu impossible? (my user isn't a tech person)
- * jackyu est parti (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
- <cjwatson> I'm very much not a Windows expert. My understanding is that that is not normally a problem, though.
- <melodie> ok :)
- <cjwatson> Some Windows applications fiddle about with the boot area in nasty ways, but GRUB takes countermeasures to protect itself from that.
- <melodie> oh? !
- <cjwatson> It has built-in error correction code so that it can survive a small number of its own sectors being overwritten.
- <melodie> are there official docs about the actual state of dual-boot with Windows 8/8.1?
- <cjwatson> Of course not if another full-blown boot loader is installed over the top.
- <cjwatson> No idea.
- * cgregan (~cgregan@ubuntu/member/cgregan) a rejoint #ubuntu-devel
- <melodie> alright, thank you.
