Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
The attached screenshot speaks for itself. I used the Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit
LiveCD (on a USB flash drive instead of a CD actually) and started the
installation. When I arrived at the part where I had to partition my
hard disk drive, I noticed some errors in the behavior of the graph
which displays disk usage after the installation.
As you can see I already had arranged that half of the hard disk drive
contains unpartitioned free space before I started the LiveCD. The
default option presented to me by the installer was the first, resize
sda1 and use the free space. The "after" bar represented this proposal
correctly. Same with the second option to use the entire disk. However,
when I chose the third option, to use the largest continuous free space,
the "after" bar depicted that 100% of the hard disk drive would be used
for Ubuntu, which would obviously be wrong. It also displayed 100% usage
for the manual option, how could the installer possibly know how much
disk space I would give Ubuntu when I haven't defined any partitions for
Ubuntu yet?
