[Bug 1046627] Re: Install Ubuntu XX.XX alongside SYSTEM YY screen missing

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Looking at the partman logs:
Before state:
parted_server: OUT: 1	1048576-2047868927	2046820352	primary	unknown	/dev/sda1	
parted_server: OUT: 5	2048917504-12548308991	10499391488	logical	ext4	/dev/sda5	
parted_server: OUT: 6	12549357568-12748587007	199229440	logical	ext4	/dev/sda6	
parted_server: OUT: 7	12749635584-52748615679	39998980096	logical	ext4	/dev/sda7	
parted_server: OUT: -1	52748615680-160041885695	107293270016	pri/log	free	/dev/sda-1	

The last bit shows that there was ~ 10GB of empty disk space available.

Resize_use_free auto partition mode was available:
/lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices: Found resizable partition '/var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda//12749635584-52748615679' (/dev/sda7) with 10968731648 bytes free

The end result became:
parted_server: OUT: 1	1048576-2047868927	2046820352	primary	unknown	/dev/sda1	
parted_server: OUT: 5	2048917504-12548308991	10499391488	logical	ext4	/dev/sda5	
parted_server: OUT: 6	12549357568-12748587007	199229440	logical	ext4	/dev/sda6	
parted_server: OUT: 7	12749635584-52748615679	39998980096	logical	ext4	/dev/sda7	
parted_server: OUT: 8	52749664256-157895622655	105145958400	logical	ext4	/dev/sda8	
parted_server: OUT: 9	157896671232-160041009151	2144337920	logical	linux-swap	/dev/sda9

So indeed biggest free space was used, which is expected behaviour.

Title:
  Install Ubuntu XX.XX alongside SYSTEM YY screen missing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1) Lubuntu 12.10 daily build i386 9-5-2012
  2) ubiquity 2.11.30
  3) I expected for the Install Ubuntu XX.XX alongside system yy screen to appear after the Allocate drive space screen.
  4) The install ubuntu XX.XX alongside system yy screen never appeared.  No screen to verify that the drive selected on the select drive list corresponds to the drive on the chart. No slider bar to move to make each section gets 50%
