Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I am testing the Feisty live CD, in a Feisty virtual machine.

As illustrated by the screenshot, the partitioner doesn't offer me to resize partitions, so I can't make room for another root partition, so I get a chance to test the new shiny migration assistant ! Shame ;-)

Any idea ?

I will attach the two usual log files in advance, to save you from asking, in case they are relevant.

These partitions aren't resizable due to a known parted bug. You can probably resize them with resize2fs and then decrease the size of the partition manually, though.

(For resizable partitions, ubiquity does offer a widget to let you resize them.)

Ah cool, would you have a bug number I could subscribe to, by any chance, to track progress on this front ?

Bug 59620; current images work around this problem so you won't notice it in ubiquity any more.
