Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.
The particular reasons for declining this bug as a papercut are that this is a bug that occurs when you do something not-common during the installation -- which only occurs once -- and the fact that this is no usability issue. For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New => Invalid ** Description changed: - This problem occurs at install so it's serious. I'm not sure it'd be - trivial to fix but I think it would be trivial to put up a warning - saying something is wrong. + This problem occurs at install so it's serious. I'm not sure it'd be trivial to fix but I think it would be trivial to put up a warning saying something is wrong. + The apparent cause of the problem is that partman is issuing a "ntfsresize --info --force --no-progress-bar" command just to gather basic information about the partition. It takes 6 minutes to complete. Basically I'm referring to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/121943/comments/14 I haven't got to the bottom of the issue yet but it has prevented me from installing Ubuntu and Mint. (I'm running Crunchbang, an Ubuntu derivative.) I resized my NTFS partition and it's possible that some issue stemming from that causes Gparted to not start up anymore. Resizing a partition is a typical pre-install task. It seems like the partition manager is fussy and doubtless there are issues with NTFS partitions and Linux but NTFS partitions are very common. It can't just hang, it has to tell me something. ** Summary changed: - Gparted has hangs forever with unmounted NTFS partition + Ubiquity partitioner has hangs forever when checking NTFS partition for resize -- Ubiquity partitioner has hangs forever when checking NTFS partition for resize https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411316 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
