[Bug 89509] Re: Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 95400 *** I just tested this with Daliy Build as of March 30 (ubiquity --version 1.4.4). Sorry to say: Nothing has changed for me. Still New partition size 0. When I drag the window a few pixel, the displayed value changes from 0 to 2000. So the same behaviour as before for me.

[Bug 89509] Re: Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size
Hmm. At least some of this appears to be because dash doesn't support 64-bit arithmetic, so it does something like 100 * 20 / 64 and gets 0, which is obviously wrong. I'll look at workarounds. -- Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size https://launchpad.net/bugs/89509 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89509] Re: Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size
I am experiencing the same problem. For example, all I wanted to do was change the mount point for an existing ext3 partition (from /media/hda[n]) to root partition (/). When I clicked on Edit partition, the value in the field labeled New parititon size in megabytes was 0. If I only changed the mount point, ubiquity then wanted to resize the partition to 0. I then canceled and re-launched Ubiquity and get the same behavior. Other partition types (swap, ntfs) appeared to be getting the size pre- filled in the field correctly. ** Attachment added: /var/log/installer/debug http://librarian.launchpad.net/6917669/debug -- Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size https://launchpad.net/bugs/89509 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Colin Watson schrieb: OK, this is expected; the installer didn't detect any filesystem it knew about on sdb3, and at present it only shows a partition size in the Edit partition dialog for the purposes of resizing the filesystem, so you don't get a size displayed there if it can't resize the filesystem. Did you experience any other similar problems in this run, other than sdb3? Colin, wish you were here - you certainly would get me right in no time at all. But that's not possible - so I'll try to explain my problem better. I just started the edgy-ubiquity on the box in question - everything works as expected. I then started the new version coming with feisty. I choose Partitiontable manual. I want to install Feisty on /dev/sdb1 (root) and /dev/sdb2 (swap). I do not want to change any partition size. I highlight the line reading /dev/sdb1 ext3 /media/sdb1 6448 MB That's fine, there is an existing ext3 with an old edgy test installation. So I click Edit Partition. A new window pops up telling me: New partition size: 0# zero use as: ext3 mountpoint: /media/sdb1 From this point on I'm lost. I do not know the precise partition size, so I can't correct 0 to the right value in MB. To be able to read better the main window, I dragged the Edit Partition Window a bit aside. Strange enough: The value for new partition size jumped from 0 to 2000. Weird ... As I do not want to change my partition layout, I cancel the installation. Uuuuh ...

Colin, I ran ubiquity --debug and did the same as described earlier. Clicking sdb3 this time gave me no size at all. Hope debug log helps.

Gerd, please attach the information I asked for above; /proc/partitions is a mildly interesting data point but doesn't really help me get anywhere with this bug. -- Clicking Edit Partition shows wrong partition size https://launchpad.net/bugs/89509 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same thing here with Feisty as of Thu, 08 Mar 2007 9:29:07 UTC. I have: jojo:/root cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 244198584 sda 8 16297448 sda1 8 22104515 sda2 8 33148740 sda3 8 4 1 sda4 8 5 73400953 sda5 8 6 159244281 sda6 816 244198584 sdb 8176297448 sdb1 8182104515 sdb2 8193148740 sdb3 820 1 sdb4 821 73400953 sdb5 822 159244281 sdb6 9 0 159244160 md0 253 0 94371840 dm-0 253 1 52428800 dm-1 and want to install on sdb1 / and sdb2 swap. I do not want to change the partition layout (sda1 is kinda productive root). Editing sdb1 gives me the wrong size 0. I cancel and edit sdb2. Here size is shown correctly (2155). I cancel and click sdb3. Size should be 3224, but again 2155 is displayed. I cancel and go back to sdb1. 2155 is displayed. I canceled the installation.
