Somebody ever do anything to make bug reporting straight forward, and I might give it another shot. For now, forget it.
You knoq what a bug is known as if they don't intend to fix it? A "design feature". I think I first heard that phrase about a Microsoft product. Vista sure had a lot of design features incorporated into it, didn't it?
Anyway, to get to the point, this evident design feature has to to with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. You have to have something special mind to run into it. That is how I found it.
I'm engaged in doing multiple installs of Ubuntu on my laptop. Some unwanted things happen if the installer makes decisions, so I go into manual mode with the included partitioner to try and get it done my way.
The installer's partitioner does not write al label, but I want one. Since gparted appears under /System/Preferences, I decide to go into test mode and use that instead. And that is were I found the.. whatever you want to call it.
Using gparted first, I can also include a partiton label, which I want. But after some failed efforts at an install (I am doing soe tings differently from the suggested metho), my method uses gparted to reformat, then label the partition. But almost invariably a reformat as ext3 ends with gparted telling me that the partition now has an unknown type file system on it. Apparently it screwed up its own reformat effort. By telling it to now do a second reformat, it will finally come up and show me ext3 as the file system on it. And then I can apply the label.
Now this gparted does not appear to bet the same as the partitioner that the instaqller calls up. But if this one messes up on a reformat. what about the one that the installer calls on? It does not check the reformat or tell me anyrhing before beginning the install process.
So the gparted set up in 10.04 LTS has a formatting problem, and yet it is unclear if the installer's partitioner is running into the same problem or not.
Anyway, it's it.
