*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 7993 *** Paul, sorry to say, but you are doing an abyssmal job here.
You mark as dupe for the wrong bug second time around. You fail to read the stuff that I already posted. All the information you needed was AFAIK in the original report. Facts you you choose to continue to ignore 1) I never asked for resizing. 2) In fact I never asked for parted to come into the picture when installing. I already had all partitions set up. parted bringing the ubuntu install to a halt is IMNSHO another, serious flaw in the ubuntu installation process. Unfortunately, I do not know what package that should be reported against. There was no job for parted to be done, really. 3) I tried version 1.7 of parted via an updated Knoppix Live CD. The other reports were 1.6 and upstream claims all these have been dealt with in 1.7. I went to the trouble of confirming this is not true only to have you mark my report as dupe falsely twice. 4) You keep asking already answered and irrelevant question (like "give me the output of dpkg -l". Like I said, I stumbled across this when installing ubuntu, I confirmed this with Knoppix. What on earth does my current ubuntu installation have to do with this???) Do as you please. I'm outta here. -- This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout (newer ext2/ext3) https://launchpad.net/bugs/59620 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
