[Bug 1028436] Re: no partitions seen in installer dialog, gparted shows partitions correctly

[Daniel Stoni]

Hello, I did some further research and recognized this as an ancient issue. Partman fails under certain conditions - for example unordered partition numbers. Thus, I've removed the extended partition with it's logical drives and recreated the partitions with installer / partman instead of using gparted. Before, I've created the last logical drive first, this time  the logical drives were created starting at the beginning of the extended partition.

Title:
  no partitions seen in installer dialog, gparted shows partitions
  correctly

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is a HP Elitebook 2760p. With gparted, I've removed one of the 4
  (annoying) primary partitions, added one extended with some logical
  drives. Unfortunately, Installer does not show the partitions, there
  is a plain /dev/sda entry only. What's the matter?
