[Bug 960628] Re: guided partitioner allows a partition size smaller than minimum requirement

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.9.32

---------------
ubiquity (2.9.32) precise; urgency=low

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * panel: Fix the gtk3 css code so that it actually applies and add
    another override for the .menuitem padding that was making the panel
    28px large instead of 24px. (LP: #960998)
  * Only allow for one orca instance at a time. (LP: #945133)
  * Fix crash in set_indicator_keymaps when reaching the fallback code
    of the keyboard layout guesser. Added a test for it. (LP: #961003)
  * Make sure all the widgets of the quit dialog are always visible.
    (LP: #960600)
  * Switch to a single install_size() function in misc called by ubi-prepare
    and by ubi-partman. Tweak the resize partition sizes to enforce the
    minimum partition size in resize mode too. (LP: #960628)
  * Change ubiquity's virtual terminal to calling 'busybox tail' instead of
    'tail' to workaround the inotify on overlayfs bug.
  * panel: Only show icons, not labels, fixing our current "corruption"
    problem where the keyboard layout gets associated with another entry.
    (LP: #960039)
  * panel: Add a list to enforce the indicator ordering. (LP: #960036)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: migration-assistant
    0.6.11.

  * Make sure to load translations for "USB" and "CD" on the language page
    (LP: #958249).
  * Sort existing images in the face selector by filename.
  * Force face selector icon view to a two-column layout, in lieu of better
    geometry management (LP: #961025).
  * Refactor ubiquity.misc.grub_default to make it testable, and add tests
    for it.
  * Make test_misc pass when run on its own.  Apparently
    GdkX11.x11_get_default_xdisplay() segfaults if Gtk hasn't been imported
    (or possibly something finer-grained); so import Gtk from
    misc.set_indicator_keymaps even though we don't actually use it
    directly.

  [ Oliver Grawert ]
  * bin/oem-config-firstboot: do not reset debconf user data in automatic mode
  * ubiquity/plugins/ubi-tasks.py: run tasksel with --new-install option in
    automatic mode (this still doesnt make tasksel work, but at least skips
    the debconf question if tasksel isnt in the preseed file, to install
    packages late-command needs to be used atm.
  * bin/ubiquity: make debconf not re-show seen questions again in automatic mode
  * all the above fixes (LP: #924018), example boot.scr and preseed.cfg file are
    attached to the bug, thanks to colin for all the fixes and the hard work.

  [ Barry Warsaw ]
  * Do not offer to install the boot loader on device paths on which
    incompatible file systems will be installed (e.g. XFS).

Title:
  guided partitioner allows a partition size smaller than minimum
  requirement

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Precise Desktop 20120320

  TEST CASE:
  1. On a system with an existing installation, start Ubiquity
  2. Language: select non-english
  3. Prepare: Check 'Download while installing'
  4. Partman: Select 'Install alongside'
  5. In the guided partitioner, move the slider maximunm to the right to allocate the minimum size to the new partition. In my case it allowed to slide down to 2.7GB
  6. Proceed with installation

  RESULT
  The installation fails because the space allocated for the new partition is too small and doesn't meet the minimum requirement of 4.5GB
