Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  After the keyboard choices in  installation (doesnt matter if I choose
  Try ubuntu first or go to install ), ubiquity shows: Reading disks...
  window the window disapear and wait for long time, from a Terminal I
  could notice this:

   3294 ?        S      0:00 gksudo --preserve-env --desktop /home/ubuntu/Desktop/ubiquity-gtkui.desktop -- /usr/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
   3296 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ devkit-disks --inhibit -- /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
   3298 ?        S      0:02      \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
   5970 ?        S      0:00          \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/debconf-communicate -fnoninteractive ubiquity
   5972 ?        S      0:00          \_ log-output -t ubiquity --pass-stdout /bin/partman
   5973 ?        S      0:00              \_ /bin/sh /bin/partman
   6722 ?        S      0:00                  \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
   6761 ?        S      0:00                      \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
   6763 ?        S      0:00                          \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices
   6905 ?        D      0:01                              \_ ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sdb1

  
  It automagicly started to try resize my data disk (ntfs 1.5tb), It was not shown any choices to me. Tried 5 times, same behavior.
