[Bug 454400] Re: 64 bits live CD installer makes wrong partions when installing Ubuntu 9.10 in ext4 partition

[Phillip Susi]

9.10 reached end of life several years ago.  Are you able to produce
this using 12.04+?  And exactly which option did you pick from the main
install menu?

Title:
  64 bits live CD installer makes wrong partions when installing Ubuntu
  9.10 in ext4 partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: live-installer

  I had initially only two partions, one for 32 bits Ubuntu 9.10 (ext3)
  and an extended partition with the swap (exactly 5.5 Gb).

  Then, I made the partition of Ubuntu 9.04 smaller with Gparted.

  I did a new ext4 partition with Gparted.

  After that I tried to install 64 bits Ubuntu 9.10 with Live CD.
  Running Live Cd installation, in the partitioning screen, I chose the first option, which was supposed to install Ubuntu in the new ext4 partition. 

  But the result was that Ubuntu 9.10 was installed in a new 2.33 Gb
  ext4 partition inside the extended partion that contained two swaps:
  5.55 Gb and 172.54Mb. 203 Mb of space were left in the 2.33 Gb
  partition. See the attachment for a screen shot of the partitions
  after installation.

  Then I decided to erase such partion with Gparted and I killed the GRUB...
  I restored the GRUB for Ubuntu 9.10 and did the installation with the third option (manual partitioning) with no problem at all. 

  I wish this description is clear enough to be helpful.
