I filed a bug about this a while back:

It has been an issue since a kernel update in breezy. I was working fine
before that.

Well that's the entire concept: It's simple. For people who need advanced

I did a walk-through and compiled issues, suggestions and several
mockups regarding the Ubuntu installation:

Hi Brian!
It would be much better, if future Hug Days could be announced some more
time in advance. We could then reach more people when publishing this in
forums and Newsposts.

Whoops sorry then, getting features mixed up in my head.

Wow, that's very thorough. I particularly like the partitioning
suggestions, since that seems to be the hardest thing to explain, and
Partman (that's what's in the new installer right?) feels uncomfortable.
Switching from GParted to Partman resulted in a more geeky interface, IMO.
I partition with
Agreed. I don't know why gparted was abandoned, it provided a more user
friendly way to do things. I like the proposal here too!

I'm quite new to this list, but I think it's great. The people here seem to
accurately reflect the users opinions and ideas, and are knowledgeable
enough to discuss and understand software issues, and to contemplate new
features and fixes for the future. There are plenty of lists and forum

One thing I've been thinking would be good for quite some time is creating
separate / and /home partitions by default. So when a user selects "Use
entire disk", it would create a /home. And certainly when a user creates a
/ and then creates another partition, it should be /home by default rather
I also like the concept of setting the language and keymap at boot. The
other minor adjustments in wording etc. also look good.
IMHO one of the most important possible adjustments to ubiquity would be to
recognize partitions by OS installed, and label them that way. I don't know
the code structure

While a separate /home makes reinstalls easier, how would you know the
size of / the user needs?

10GB is more than enough under normal usage. You'd have to install..all of
GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment...and it still wouldn't be full. Even with all
that and a lot more, I'm at around 7GB full.

Be careful with meaningful names, you need to ensure
That's a very nice pdf. One minor thing:
User Switching
The User Switcher applet shouldn't appear with only one user.
I think it should, to let the use familiarize themselves. It'll be a bit
disorienting (like where did that come from?) if the applet suddenly
appeared after the installation.
