[Bug 1164592] Re: Ubiquity freezes in Install Alongside screen

[Erick Brunzell]

I just did some quick cross-testing with Lubuntu RR i386 20130403 on a
quite simple drive arrangement (same arrangement where this failed with
Ubuntu GNOME RR i386 20130402.1), bare metal, one previous Ubuntu GNOME
install, and no free space. The Lubuntu image proceeded as expected so
this is going to require more investigation to be certain if it was a
change between 20130402.1 and 20130403.

But I think we should be able to release these Beta images with an
appropriate mention of this bug in the release notes.

Title:
  Ubiquity freezes in Install Alongside screen

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is with the Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 Beta 2 candidate image.

  This fails the Live Image testcase.

  Ubiquity freezes in the Install Alongside screen.

  This is with an already existing Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 Beta 2 full-disk
  install. /dev/sdb is the USB stick I was using for the installer
  image.
