---------------
ubiquity (2.12.13) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Do not allow to edit locked partitions via double click in the Gtk
    Treeview. (LP: #1057690)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix "Mangement" typo (thanks, Yuri Chornoivan; LP: #1067228).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Add an extra parameter to grub_default so that the UI can force it to use a
    specific device rather than scan for / and /boot.
    Update Gtk and Kde code to pass that parameter when in auto mode.
    (LP: #1066173)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.122ubuntu13, partman-auto 103ubuntu4.

Title:
  whole disk install puts grub in wrong place

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For test case "Install (entire disk) in Ubuntu Studio DVD i386 for
  Quantal Final " Oct12.1. When installing onto a second drive
  (removable in this case) The boot information goes on the internal
  drive instead of the install drive. When the second drive is removed
  the internal drive can no longer be booted because grub is looking for
  the external drive.

  One of two things should happen (in my opinion):

  a) grub should be installed on the same drive as the new install.

  b) when choosing drive to install to, a place to select where grub is
  to be installed should be provided.

  and now to go repair grub on my machine...
