Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-frontend-kde
I installed the Kubuntu 9.04 RC on an external hard disk drive, which
was connected through eSATA. I created four primary partitions:
#1 3 GB /dev/sda1 ext3 /
#1 3 GB /dev/sda2 ext3 /home
#1 2 GB /dev/sda3 swap
#1 236 GB /dev/sda4 fat32 /windows
Ubiquity couldn't create the fat32 partition (and there didn't seem to
be an option to create an ntfs partition, shouldn't Ubiquity be capable
of that already?). After defining the partitions again and simply saying
that the fat32 partition should not be used – I decided I'd partition
the unused space as ntfs later – and marking it as unpartitioned/free
space, Ubiquity was able to continue. After the install completed, I
rebooted and logged in to the system. The "sudo fdisk -l" command
revealed that the free space was marked as "W95 FAT32" anyway, somehow.
