This (unfortunately) hasn't been attended to for quite some time, and Ubiquity (the graphical installer) in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron (like most parts of that release) is no longer maintained (only the Server version of Hardy is still supported, and that uses debian-installer rather than Ubiquity). Furthermore, since will be no more point releases for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, even if this were to be fixed in ubiquity in Hardy, the improved Ubiquity would never get used. But while there is no sense in trying to fix this in Hardy, if it's in other releases with upcoming live CD's, then it is worth investigating it and trying to get it fixed in those releases.
Right now, there are two versions of Ubuntu that will have subsequently released desktop install CD's. One version is 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx, currently on point release 10.04.2, and the other is Ubuntu 10.10 Oneiric Ocelot (the upcoming non-LTS version, expected to be released this October). If the bug exists and is fixed in Oneiric, that would fix it for subsequent releases with higher version numbers, such as p-series, as well (though similar bugs could potentially be reintroduced later in development). If you are able to reproduce this bug with the current point release desktop CD for Lucid (available at http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/) or with the Oneiric Alpha 2 desktop CD (available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/alpha-2/) or with an Oneiric daily-live dated later than the Alpha 2 CD (will be available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/), then please open a Terminal window in the live CD system and run "apport-collect 224493" (without the quotes). Obviously, you should test this in such a way that, if the bug is reproduced, valuable data is not actually lost. After running apport-collect and posting here to provide details about what happened, this bug can be changed back from Incomplete to New, as at that point there will probably be enough information provided to enable a developer to begin work on the bug. If you are no longer able to reproduce this bug on either 10.04.2 LTS or the Oneiric development branch, then this bug can be marked Invalid. ** Summary changed: - ubuntu ate my solaris partition + live CD automatically used Solaris partition as swap, corrupting it ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: hardy ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #530657 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530657 ** Also affects: ubiquity via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530657 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Project changed: ubiquity => gparted -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224493 Title: live CD automatically used Solaris partition as swap, corrupting it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/224493/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
