Public bug reported:
Wily desktop iso 64bit: 2015-10-13
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start installation from GUI selection "Install Ubuntu" on virtio (vda) disk
in a KVM VM
2. Use guided partitioning to erase and install on one disk (other options that
are not strictly default: use German keyboard layout and Berlin as location for
timezone).
The installation proceeds normally up to the point where the boot loader is
supposed to be installed. There the install fails because it tries to install
into /dev/vda5 (which got assigned swap). The dialogue that appears allows to
select /dev/vda instead, but pressing "OK" has no effect (it also does seem to
have no effect when selecting to continue without boot loader).
When I switch to a VT at this time, the install target is not mounted (that
might be normal with ubiquity).
