I analysed this on the train. I agree with Evan that the problem is due to rounding; specifically, the resize widget is returning a percentage that isn't properly clipped to the minimum and maximum sizes. While we should certainly do this clipping, I think it would improve things further if the resize widget passed a precise size through to the backend rather than simply a percentage. How does the attached patch look?
This is a clear regression in the new resize widget that many users will run into during installation without doing anything particularly outrageous, and so I think it's critical for 8.10 final. IMO we should get this or something similar tested and uploaded today. ** Attachment added: "287547.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18854783/287547.patch ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New => Triaged -- Guided Partitioning: Ubiquity should not offer to resize partitions further than it is possible to resize them without losing data. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
