[Bug 893129] Re: Having feedback during the HD partition resize would be nice

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  I have just installed Oneiric on my new laptop. This involved resizing
  the existing Windows partition to make space for ubuntu. This took more
  than 30 min and all i had was a "Spining wheel" in the mouse cursor. It
- would be nice to have a progress bad, but if parsing the output of the
+ would be nice to have a progress bar, but if parsing the output of the
  command line tools that do the work is hard I will be happy enough with
  having a text that says "Resizing partitions" or something like that, to
  help the user see things are not dead (Ok, i switched to a shell by
  Alt+f1 and started top to see what was going on, but i don't see my
  father doing that)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged
