Ubuntu 24.04 Sorry, home directories outside of /home needs configuration

When will this be fixed
Lots of suggestions online, I've tried 4 none work
// M@ts

When do you see this message? Which release of Ubuntu? Is it fully updated?

The software is updated
However, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS is available (you have 22.04.)

If you upgrade and have an old pc Disaster. I know.
Why isn't this prompt gone for old PCs!

 My Old pc , without Uefi , Need a test about Uefi before installation.
======================================================
2024-11-12
NOTE NOTE
Uefi Should be changed to MBR
If MBR don't try to upgrade….
=======================================================

My experience 22.04, 24.04

Can't get 24.04 to work, lots of mess, so I've done a clean install of 22.04 and looked at the log. Sorry is available.

In today's log extract, lots of errors 22.04

Parts around warnings, note not all in the log

Surely a log should not contain so many problems after a clean installation

Sorry below

Note This is how the partitioning has looked since about 6-7 years ago.
NOTE It is an MBR installation, Maybe that's why I never managed to install in this pc with 24.04.1
Below from the net !!
Found below today, too bad I didn't find it sooner.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Installation.
Before using UEFI, the disk partition style must be set to GPT.

Can't send the partition image.
Sorry

2 partitions
38 GB / ext4
74 GB / home ext4

Do you want me to try to upgrade 22.04.5 LTS to 24.04.1 as upgrade wants, I can do it if you take care of the crash dumps my last attempt to make a bug report come mail back invalid, all previous attempts you have already received all the dumps.
But for the sake of the good cause, I can do it again
Just get in touch at e.g. Mail

Hi If any of you are interested about my musings on SNAP, which seems to be constructed incorrectly.
Please contact me or indicate how I should report this

Are all the people on the right side involved, wow impressed
best regards to all... (136....)

Have a good day.

This is not an Ubuntu problem (especially not one that is related to ubuntu-release-upgrader), but a weakness in snap packaging.

Please visit the link that is given in the second line and read the discussion in that forum (and the links given there).

Thanks for reply
Hope someone else can take over,
it has existed since at least 22.04
Is it a problem or not ?
There are lots of fix suggestions online.
3-4 suggestions I have tried none worked.

Hi Manfred

Sorry It was exactly the 3-4 variants that I tried, none of them worked

I think it depends on GPT, I have MBR

My mistake, just looked in my other PC, U-24.04.1 Uefi,GPT,
The sorry message is included
The log is from 31/10-05/11 Sorry 39 times,
Disaster soup in the log.
 1 crash dump today I wasn't online then, minutes later online,
 don't know if it was sent or not.
