also reading the intructions on the wiki, i wonder why everyone adds
"sudo sync" to their docs ... dd does a binary copy below the filesystem
level, sync only flushes the filesystem buffer (so in the case of using
dd before its a complete no-op to call it)
:)

Title:
partition size error during install of Quantal on Panda board
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I was testing using this image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120828.2/quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img on a Panda board, I was trying to install to a partition created on a SD card with Gparted (see these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/QA/Pandaboard).
On the "installation type" window, were you have to select the partition on which to install, I selected the already created ext2 partition previously created on the SD card with gparted, I chose ext2 as filesystem type and / as mount point, when I confirmed, got a message window saying that "Before you can select a new partition size, any prevoius changes have to be written to disk..." (see attached picture).
I then clicked on "go back" (I did not change the partition size), ubiquity went back to the "installation type" window.
I clicked on the "install now" button as I saw that the ext2 partition was selected for install as root partition, but got an error message window and Apport took me to the already reported bug #727842 in firefox, but could not do anything to mark it as affecting me as the bug must be a private one and do not have permission to.
After this could not do anything else, selecting reboot or switchoff did not do anything, CTRL+ALT+F1 did nothing, CTRL+ALT+CANC made me reboot.
