[Bug 1962055] [NEW] Ubuiquity shows black boxes for installing alongside

[Erich Eickmeyer ]

Public bug reported:

Upon testing Ubuntu Studio 20.04.4's candidate image, I stumbled upon an
issue in Ubiquity which makes the auto-resize functionality less than
useful.

In the resize portion when you determine disk allocation, only a black
box was being displayed for each partition/OS. This normally shows
information such as size being used and other information such as
operating system in question. This information is black text, so this
black box is showing black text on a black background.
