Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubuntu Jaunty alpha 5
1. At the "Keyboard layout" step, click "Forward".
What happens:
* Still on the "Keyboard layout" step, a progress window appears briefly saying
"Starting up the partitioner", "Starting up the partitioner" again, and some
other text too brief to read.
* The window flies away a couple of seconds later.
* A few seconds after that, the installer finally switches to the "Prepare disk
space" step.
Showing progress in a separate window implies that the original window
can be closed or used for something else at the same time, but in this
case it can't.
What should happen:
* Progress of starting the partitioner and scanning the partitions should be
displayed in the installer window. One obvious way of doing this would be
centering the progress bar and text inside the otherwise-empty "Prepare disk
space" step itself. (To be tasteful, the progress bar should take up only about
half the width of the Ubiquity window.) When the scanning has finished, the
progress bar and text could disappear and be replaced by the usual partitioning
options.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
