Sorry, I just installed Hardy on my main machine. Without even asking, it completely removed all of my data in all other partitions which are not /home. The message showed up when installing was 'Removing conflicting files...' of some sort. I noticed it was removing *something* for quite a long time, but assured myself it was doing that for good.
Add to the incidence, I also noticed Hardy automatically mounted all partitions in all available drives, without asking. This is -if you'd ask me- completely dumb and unacceptable. What if users want to recover something from an already corrupted drive?. Now that I know I was stupid to even think about installing alpha software onto a production machine. But will anyone explain the rationale behind this behavior?. Fortunately my projects are located in /home, all I've lost were only books, music, pictures, CD images, movies and... well, everything else. These were ext3, so recovering is not possible. I'm gonna stay with Feisty in the mean time: It already took me a whole day to reconfigure everything. But frankly, I began to lose trust in Ubuntu for this very dilemma that seemed to have originated form nowhere. -- 'Lost connection' to X server when staying in the console and Rhythmbox change to a new song https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179744 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
