Title:
  Kubuntu install partitioning tool problem

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-installer

  Trying to install Kubuntu (from live Desktop CD) on a system with a
  rather complex partitioning scheme and a large number of "partitions"
  (system using EVMS + LVM2 with already existing partitions and LVM
  setup), the "Manual" choice in the partitioning tool displays a large
  box full of solid blue and red rectangles (without any text) which I
  guess represents system partitions.

  The matter is that this partitions (?) window, in my case, is much
  taller than my physical display, and has no scrollbars, so there's no
  way I can see what's at the bottom of the window (buttons maybe ?),
  nor can I move it up (the window "move" refuses to move the widow
  title bar higher than the physical screen), and I'm stuck there where
  I can't perform any action - but close the window and installer.

  So I went to an Ubuntu CD and tried the same, and there it works
  because the Ubuntu live Desktop CD installer, when choosing "manual
  partitions setup", gives a window where the partitions are listed as
  text, and can be scrolled (using window scrollbar) for proper
  selection and configuration.

  So this problem is specific to the Kubuntu 7.04 "live" installer in
  "manual partitioning" mode, but it's allright in "Ubuntu".

  So I had to first install Ubuntu this way, then install Kubuntu
  packages once Ubuntu was up and running. That's annoying :-}
