Public bug reported: Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
Perhaps it was intentional, but until now, I have never seen an installer program in an installed distro... It only was in the .iso and presumably was removed. (Of course, if the install merely removed the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications, but left the actual package(s), I might well not have known the difference...) See screenshot. "Format" partiton edit option appears to keep reverting to "Keep" Edit Bug #1773610 reported by Scott Cowles Jacobs a moment ago Thank you for spending your time helping to make Ubuntu better with this bug report.

Also affects distribution/package Edit Bug Description Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic In doing a manual install, I always format the '/' root partition, but leave all others alone. Thus for all others, I kept the partition edit option at "Keep". After changing the partition for '/' to "Format", I noticed that there was no display column for "Format?" as there is for gparted, to see at a glance which partitions were to be formatted. Therefore, I went back and edited the partition, and found that the option was no longer "Format", but had reverted to "Keep". I tried several times to change it to "Format", and each time it reverted to "Keep". When I decided to go ahead with the install anyway, I was presented with a list of tasks to be effected, the first five (!) of which were "Format sdb_ as "/" (or some such wording). I hope that it did not actually format the partition 5 times (but it did seem to take a while!). ---------------------------------------------------------- $ uname -a Linux scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $lsb_release -dsc Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish (development branch) $echo $DESKTOP_SESSION cosmic $ apt-cache policy calamares calamares: Installed: 3.2.0-1 Candidate: 3.2.0-1 Version table: *** 3.2.0-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ---------------------------------------------------------- ** Affects: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Install_System_Still_Present.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773611/+attachment/5144983/+files/Install_System_Still_Present.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773611 Title: Calamares not removed from installation; "Install System" in System Tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1773611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
