[Bug 1799097] Re: Install selected time zone city (Seattle) hit next hit back hit next then crash

[Iain Lane]

I asked xnox whether he could help look at this.

23/10 09:50:30 <xnox> i believe there is a distinct code-path, that if paritioning fails for some reason, it shows a pop-up with what went wrong.
23/10 09:50:52 <xnox> and i don't remember if it throws the user back to partitioning, or if tells the user to "click back" to partitioning.
23/10 09:50:54 <xnox> =/
23/10 09:51:07 <xnox> also not sure how to simulate that.
23/10 09:53:50 <Laney> there's a codepath for that
23/10 09:55:36 <Laney> return_to_partitioning?
23/10 09:57:59 <Laney> try making partman-commit always return false or something
23/10 10:01:53 <Laney> it's possible that we should set self.partitioned = False, self.timezone_set = False unconditionally after ubi-partman
23/10 10:02:19 <Laney> if you'd like to check that out and add an extra commit if so, that would be welcomed by me

hopefully something will be forthcoming!
