[Bug 1942603] Re: ubiquity - manual partitioning; edit partition & cannot select/do anything

[Chris Guiver]

I did some exploration

then ended up with another error on same box

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1944009

dc7700 started with 2 lubuntu impish installs

(1) one was replaced with ubuntu impish;
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/424/builds/236863/testcases/1302/results/
; NO ISSUES

(2) the issue I was exploring had three installs; so I performed a auto-
resize
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/424/builds/236863/testcases/1301/results/
; NO ISSUES

(3) this install; I attempted to replace partition, alas did NOT use
FORMAT (which would have been quicker) but it should still have worked..
THIS IS THE INSTALL THAT JUST GOT STUCK & LOOPED

which is filed in new report.

Either way I don't think this report is of much use until it's
encountered on another box.  I end the other report with this comment

"Either way - I don't think this is a fixable issue; maybe a quirk in
this box which is getting rather old..

I wonder though if they are related; but still don't think a Ubuntu
concern, unless the issue is confirmed on a different box"

  ubiquity - manual partitioning; edit partition & cannot select/do
  anything

Status in ubiquity source package in Impish:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop (impish) QA-test install to
  - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

  Selected manual partitioing, plan is to replace a 20.04.3 (Xubuntu)
  install with this impish one, selected the partition and hit CHANGE

  Edit partition window opens up where I want to change "Use as:" from
  "do not use" to "/"

  ** Expected results

  It will let me select partition sda5 as /

  ** Actual results

  I cannot select the USE AS drop down, nor click OK, CANCEL, adjust
  size or anything.

  ** More details

  I can CTRL+ALT+T and explore system, no crash files, nothing evident
  in dmesg or journalctl; squashfs check completed correctly..

  this box has had issues groovy+ with nouveau; but that's  usually not impacting install itself; just post-install checks when I adjust screens/wallpapers etc.  I looked for tell-tale crash reports in logs but didn't see any
