Public bug reported:
Hardware Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z, Z68-system , 1 *120 GB SSD connected ,
partioned for a new install it is prepared with 512 m boot ,
30 GB for /root and the rest for /home,
I got stuck on the partitions tool to boot, no matter how i did , Subiquity
didnt take other argument than wipe the whole disk.
A really unlogical and lack of information UI with Subiquity, using debian is
like a river compared to this slow backwards stream.
Detailed issues:
The "Done" Button Deadlock: Even with /boot, /, and /home
correctly assigned, the "Done" button remained greyed out.
Boot Device Selection: The installer demanded a "boot disk"
selection, but the "Use as boot device" option was greyed out
for the SSD, despite it having a dedicated boot partition.
Forced Data Loss: There was no logical path to preserve the
existing /home partition. The only way to activate the "Done"
button was to select "Use entire disk," which is unacceptable
when preserving user data.
Lack of Guidance: The UI provided no information on why the
configuration was considered invalid (e.g., missing flags or
specific partition types like "BIOS Boot").
Conclusion:
I had to abandon my manual setup and wipe the entire drive to proceed. This is
a critical failure in a "user-friendly" installer.
