[Bug 1238446] Re: Ubiquity is stuck after "Prepare" step

[Phillip Susi]

It looks like parted's gpt code simply throws out the upper 8 bits of
each 16 bit character, which corrupts non ascii names.  Later it tries
to treat this corrupted name as a multi byte string ( which I think
means UTF-8 ) and convert it to a wide character string, and this fails.

I'm not sure how to convert UTF-16 to the current locale encoding.
