[Bug 770711] Re: Prefers to install to USB rather than to HD

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.8.2

---------------
ubiquity (2.8.2) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Preserve ordering of disks returned by partman-auto rather than
    shuffling them based on dictionary ordering (LP: #770711).  This uses
    collections.OrderedDict, which requires Python >= 2.7.
  * Run only those parts of oem-config-prepare that require root access as
    root; in particular displaying confirmation dialogs is now done as the
    calling user, which avoids KDE confusion (LP: #856418).
  * Go back to killing update-apt-cache's process group, but this time make
    sure that it's in a separate process group and make more of an effort to
    ensure that it terminates (LP: #743359).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Make ubiquity also update gsettings (LP: #800760)
    - Add a new gsettings module similar to the gconftool one
    - Update ubiquity-dm for gconf to gsettings migration
    - Get PROXY configuration from gsettings
    - Update gtk_ui to set/restore gsettings values
  * Update copy_network_config to work with Network Manager now storing
    everything system wide.

Title:
  Prefers to install to USB rather than to HD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Booting from the live CD with a persistent USB stick inserted, the
  installer recognizes the USB stick, prompts to unmount (probably
  shouldn't do this when the device is the persistent partition,
  however). The installer then defaults to installing to the USB stick.
  This can be changed to the hard drive, but it's unclear why the USB
  stick would be the default: sorted by name, sda is before sdc, sorted
  by size 320GB is before 1GB. This is new behavior. This worked
  correctly last week, whereby not unmounting the persistent partition
  still defaulted to installing to the hard drive.

  This is with the ISO for amd64+mac from 20110425.2
