[Bug 2028160] Re: Ubuntu 22.04 Installer's "Install Type" menu missing 1st 3 options

[brian mullan]

Yes there is an existing Ubuntu install but that's beside the point.

The Installation Type menu used to look like the following URL and still
should.

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/677989525/Ubuntu%2022.04%20Installation%20Programs%20Installation%20Type%20Menu%20Missing%201st%203%20options.png

How else can someone re-install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but keep their /home
personal files.

Unless of course you want to make newbies pick "Something Else" the
recreate all partitions BUT /home.

I think that would be a mistake.

This Problem has happened to someone on the Ubuntu sub-reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/152vevl/no_option_to_reinstall/

I didn't initially want to test this myself to see if he was right.

Then I decided to try a USB Ubuntu Install myself on one of my Existing Ubuntu 22.04.2 Desktop systems.
Booted the USB and picked Install Ubuntu

When I got the the "Installation Type" menu ...

He was right... those First 3 options are now missing even though the disk I would be installing TO already
had Ubuntu 22.04.2 on it.

All I had on my screen as options were:

- Erase disk and Install Ubuntu
- Something Else

So anyone that has an existing Ubuntu installation but hoses something
up and wants to just reinstall Ubuntu but keep their existing /home
personal files looks out of luck.

That can't be right?
