[Bug 1787095] [NEW] Cannot create live ubuntu in partition

[Iván Pérez]

Public bug reported:

The feature of creating a live Ubuntu installation in a partition is
gone. This was an incredibly useful feature to recover machines with any
drive available, and I'd like to request that it is brought back.

1) What release

Ubuntu 16.10 and onwards.

2) Package version

0.3.2 and onwards

3) What happens now

If I insert a disk with 2 partitions, one that is empty and one with
data that I want to keep, I am only offered to create a live USB disk
that will erase both partitions.

4) What I would expect

That both partitions are shown and I can select which one I want to use.
