Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The biggest_free option, presented as the "side-by-side" option in ubiquity when the resize option is unavailable, is shown regardless of whether the amount of free space available is enough to hold Ubuntu. In the attached logs, only 128 MB of free space was present, yet the option was shown and partitioning failed.

Also, returning to partitioning brings me to the advanced page without any disks in the treeview to work with.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Provide a better description for the upgrade/reinstall option that
    intends to make the difference between it and a traditional Ubuntu
    upgrade clear (LP: #752372).
  * Don't show the biggest_free option if we can't fit Ubuntu in the
    free space (LP: #751145).
  * Try calling unlock_environment a bit earlier to work around LP: 657086.
  * Be sure to back up in the dbfilter when backing up from the advanced
    partitioning page (LP: #744938).
  * Increase the minimum size of the Ubuntu install to be twice the size
    of the contents of the installation (roughly 5.2 GB) (LP: #745148).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Switch to xz compression for the source package, saving nearly a
    megabyte.
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Update imported translations from gtk+2.0 2.24.4-0ubuntu1.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.49ubuntu4,
    netcfg 1.60ubuntu3.

  * Update artwork gui/qt/images/squares.png
