[Bug 445919] Re: Ubiquity do not allow choose partitioning methods

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD).
Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd
recommend testing your CD drive with other media.  In the event that is
is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the
bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  After the keyboard choices in  installation (doesnt matter if I choose
  Try ubuntu first or go to install ), ubiquity shows: Reading disks...
  window the window disapear and wait for long time, from a Terminal I
  could notice this:

   3294 ?        S      0:00 gksudo --preserve-env --desktop /home/ubuntu/Desktop/ubiquity-gtkui.desktop -- /usr/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
   3296 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ devkit-disks --inhibit -- /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui

   5972 ?        S      0:00          \_ log-output -t ubiquity --pass-stdout /bin/partman
   5973 ?        S      0:00              \_ /bin/sh /bin/partman
   6722 ?        S      0:00                  \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
   6761 ?        S      0:00                      \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
   6763 ?        S      0:00                          \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices
   6905 ?        D      0:01                              \_ ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sdb1

  
  It automagicly started to try resize my data disk (ntfs 1.5tb), It was not shown any choices to me. Tried 5 times, same behavior.
