Binary package hint: ubiquity I'm just following up on some info I reported in bug 657397 that I don't believe is an actual duplicate. I began with this partitioning arrangement: la...@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print [sudo] password for lance: Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 1121MB 1120MB primary ntfs 2 1121MB 74.7GB 73.5GB primary ntfs 3 74.7GB 80.0GB 5366MB primary ntfs I then selected "Install alongside other operating systems” and next I clicked on "Use entire partition" but upon completing the installation it had actually used the entire disc as seen here: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 76.7GB 76.7GB primary ext4 2 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB extended 5 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB logical linux-swap(v1) I'll be following up on this and other ubiquity bugs during Natty iso- testing. You might find the info here somewhat helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10145206&postcount=15 One difference between the scenario I mentioned there and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/657397/comments/3 is that in the prior scenario the GUI showed it was going to use /devsdb with 2 partitions hidden, whereas this time the GUI was blank although it did still show 2 smaller partitions hidden. I'm going to perform another similar test now, only with an installed Ubuntu.
