[Bug 995097] [NEW] Installer doesnt find my hardware and does not tell the user anything.

[sean]

Public bug reported:

I tried to install it from the "Try Ubuntu" and I still never get this
option it goes from "Welcome: choose language", to "Preparing to install
Ubuntu" that gives me the option to download updates, "Wireless", and
finally "Instillation type" which has the "Device for boot loader
installation" and a blank table.

None of the buttons: New Partition Table, Add, Change, Delete or Revert are clickable.
There is a drop down list with /dev/sda in it, but that's it.

There is nothing in the listbox above the buttons, and I was never asked what kind of installation I want to do.
It just goes to Installation type.

I had issues with Wubi earlier too, but now I'm trying to install from
the cd.

I'm going to try downloading 32bit and see if I can get anywhere.

It might be helpful to know that I have windows 8 installed, but I was
willing to wipe the drive... I just dont get the option
