Title:
  Display progress bar during partitioning (esp. while resizing existing
  partitions)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a PC. I had to resize existing
  partitions and that took a LOONG time (but thats an issue for another
  bug). While resizing, no progress was displayed. The window was just
  "frozen". This is a very poor user experience. Feedback is of utmost
  importance.

  What is more worrying is that the resizing was done via ntfsresize (or
  some such utility) at the command line and there was no progress
  report in the logs either! So I could see the ntfsresize utility
  pegging the CPU at 100% and the disk lights blinking like crazy but I
  could not see any progress in the logs OR in the GUI.

  Please, please add a progress bar so that end users don't get
  frustrated.

  P.S.: I am not sure what package this bug belongs to, perhaps it
  should belong to ubiquity-frontend-gtk?
