Public bug reported:
This is a rollup of the issues I encountered when I finally succeeded at
installing the Bionic daily (desktop build) which I downloaded today.
Looked great, but I had a number of issues initially when it wasn't able
to handle any pre-existing files eventually I deleted all the system
files and moved /home/.ecryptfs and /home/user into a 'prev' folder then
it allowed the install to proceed and complete successfully.
However...
* My selection within ubiquity of a minimal desktop was just straight-up
ignored, and all of the desktop packages were installed regardless.
* During the install ubiquity warned me "Before you can select a new partition
size any previous changes have to be written to disk etc. etc." However, I had
not asked for any resize (in fact my system partition was not even being
formatted).
* During the install ubiquity showed me a window which was too large (long) for
the desktop, hiding the 'Continue' buttons which needed to be clicked. The
window read...
- "The file system on /dev/sda5 assigned to / has not been marked for
formatting. Directories containing system files (/et/, /lib, /usr, /var) that
alre" and went off the window at this point meaning I had to drag the window
across into view to be able to see there were even any buttons to click.
If there is a workaround for ubiquity ignoring the request for a minimal
desktop it would be handy to know. I can install packages myself and
would rather start from nothing rather than having to hunt through all
the defaults removing them one by one.
