[Bug 1330021] Re: custom installation on GPT partitioned disks refers to Primary & Logical partitions

[Rod Smith]

This problem still exists in Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop. Selecting either
"primary" or "logical" partition types works fine, but the distinction
is meaningless for GPT, and asking for the partition type could be
confusing to users who aren't expecting it -- they might not understand
the difference or they might be misled into thinking that the partition
table is of the MBR type, when in fact it's GPT.

Title:
  custom installation on GPT partitioned disks refers to Primary &
  Logical partitions

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Boot ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso in a Virtual Box VM using UEFI.
  2. Installation type: something else
  3. click New Partition Table button
  4. click free space then + button

  Result: The "create partition" dialog contains a "Type for the new
  partition" distinguishing between Primary & Logical partitions.

  Expected: Since this is UEFI installation, GPT partitioning is used,
  and therefore there's no such thing as Primary and Logical partitions.
  So this whole section of the UI shouldn't be present.
