I'll really appreciate this the next time I need to install a dual-boot.
Thanks everyone involved!

Title:
  No partition labels in the resize widgets

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

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * No sensible way to guess how to perform automatic dual-boot install

  [Test Case]

   * Use a machine with a sufficiently large hard-drive to hold an additional ubuntu installation, and perform side-by-side installation, e.g.:
   * Create a 20GB big VM
   * Install Ubuntu once
   * Boot into updated 12.04.4 daily candidate image
   * Perform side-by-side installation
   * At the resize, disk allocation step it should be clearly visible existing & new installation, their disk names and sizes. A clear resize area should be visible which should be possible to drag left & right.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Bug #1240532, fix for which is also included in the update. Make
  sure you do complete the dual-boot installation.

  [Other Info]

  I clicked through the 12.04 LTS Beta 1 installation wizard and selected "Install 12.04 LTS alongside 11.10". I am presented with a simple slider to manage the partitions for the existing and new version of Ubuntu. However, the only labels present on the partitions are the sizes (approx 240GB and 60GB). Which one is for 12.04 and which for 11.10?

  At the moment I can't continue past this step knowing what is going to
  happen, which means I don't really want to! :)

  <http://goo.gl/bM1JH>: "Each operating system item should contain a
  description that has the name and version of the operating system (as
  obtained from os-prober), and the block device or partition label,
  filesystem type, and size..."
