Thank you for your enquiry. Yes, I have installed the latest Ubuntu release. No, I haven't had a recurrence of this issue myself. I have learnt my lesson.
I have moved beyond the stage of 'I want to be able to dual boot Linux and the legacy commercial OS so I feel the need to manually repartition the disk' to 'I have raid + lvm and any time I want to do something slightly out of the ordinary I just create a new virtual machine and let the installer do as it will with a virtual disk on the logical volume'. The reason I reported the issue in the first place was that other folks, more technically challenged than I, had complained they had been asked for a user id but did not have one. They were laughed at and had sworn they would never touch Linux again. I gave you enough of an explanation of one way this might happen that you might be able to reproduce the issue and fix it. Your loss, not mine. I won't bother you again. Andreas Moog wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.
