Bug Description
When installing Ubuntu 12.10 next to Kubuntu 12.10 it messes up whole Kubuntu system by moving whole system root to a directory named "@" and home folder to "@home", /var/lib remains as only directory on root partition but it is empty (no hidden files). When installing Kubuntu next to Ubuntu the same problem occurs. Attached file is created by ubiquity in /ubiquity-
I'm using btrfs as file system on both partitions. Both partitions are on the same disk. /dev/sda1 is ntfs, /dev/sda5 is swap, /dev/sda6 is Ubuntu and /dev/sda7 Kubuntu. I want the freedom to use both, not being restricted by Ubuntu to be able to use only one flavor of Ubuntu. If it was Fedora on the partition I could understand that somehow but another Ubuntu flavor? Why? That always worked, why was Ubiquity changed to do such a mess?
Did you realise that you can do:
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop
And choose if you want to login into ubuntu session or kubuntu session without having two ubuntu systems installed ?!
