No partition labels in the resize widgets

A screenshot would still be helpful here.

Added screenshots for previous screen and ambiguous partitions. Any confirmation on which is which would be a helpful workaround for now :)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Was this a design decision or accident?

Setting to wish list makes me think it was done on purpose.

I think this is a usability bug, hindering users' attaining information about and configuring their installation.

also me, here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/164661/no-icons-or-filesystem-in-partition-while-installing-ubuntu-12-04

Hm... there should be Ubuntu Circle of Friends logos on both sides, and a label. At least that's what happens on full disk install, for example.

As per design document - the logo and labels should be there:
https://docs.google.com/document/preview?id=1bZ4yQIVgGaUGSYu3qiUHnQt3ieBZoqunP_DcleHCr3I#heading=h.9wow0hy0pim7

Happened to me, only I was installing alongside Windows 7. This is a real show stopper if you want uneven partitions. Also I was using 12.04 (not beta) 64bit, and it was Win 7 64 bit.

This happened to me as well, installing 64 bit 12.04 alongside Windows 7 64. There is a duplicate of this bug where it is mentioned that if you drag the window off screen, the Ubuntu logo will show up where it should be. I confirmed this myself earlier this morning. So the images are where they should be, but for whatever reason are not being displayed properly unless they are first dragged off screen.

I should also probably note that I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y570, with both the onboard Intel graphics as well as the nvidia graphics card. I assume that the installer would be using the Intel graphics?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

If anyone comes here looking for a quick answer: Your current installation should be on the left (the beginning of your disk), while the new install will be the right hand side (the end of your disk).

I did some more investigation on this bug. In the minimal example the logo and labels are painted, but the z-order is wrong such that the dotted pattern wipes them. Strangely enough the "use_disk" mode (when multiple disks are present), shows the logo & that the titles correctly.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

still have this issue on the latest raring 13.04 beta image. This causes a lot of confusion during installation. Its silly if in the middle of an install one has to search the internet to try and figure this out! The average person will not waste their time and will just goto some other distro or just stick to windows!

Thanks alex! This just happened to me while installing Elementary OS.

So, this still not being done. What is actually the error, I seem to remember there being some icons on there before? Are the icons just missing or renamed or invalid PNG or something? This sounds like it could be an easy picking. At least, it's a very irritating flaw :)

(note, I just had to search (again) when installing 13.04, so I'm not in 13.10)

This problem is still on the Lubuntu 13.10 latest daily builds, very bad :P

Looking very slick =)

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.15.25

ubiquity (2.15.25) saucy; urgency=low

  * Remove all cairo styling from partition boxes in automatic
    partitioning, instead use gtk3/css styling. (LP: #947107)

Hello d❤vid, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.10.29 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

@ Stéphane,

Should we just wait until the change hits the 12.04.4 dailys or would it be OK to "update" and then "install" ubiquity to grab the updated version?

I'm a bit concerned about libs if I try a hack :^(

@Stéphane - I'm also not sure how to proceed. Would it be valid to: get the new package on my system, use Startup Disk Creator to create an ISO/USB installer, test with that installer (either on my live machine or a VM)? Or better to just use the daily ISO as Erick suggested?

Looking at the current manifest:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/precise-desktop-i386.manifest

Still shows:

ubiquity 2.10.28

But I'll play in the next few hours and report back ;^)

I'm gaining, it took me a while to adjust to the fact that "proposed" is enabled by default in the 12.04.4 20140123 i386 image.

It does appear to be fixed but I want to document the whole process to make sure it makes sense to Stéphane.

Arrgh, ubiquity crashed, please see bug #1272272.

That updated version does work OK with "something else"/ aka manual partitioning but I was surprised to see that it defaulted to "do not use this partition" w/o a reboot.

That last comment was poorly written :^(

After ubiguity crashed I reported bug #1272272.

When I was done reporting that bug I restarted ubiquity w/o rebooting and chose "something else".

Once I selected the partition that had been created during the auto-resize process and clicked on change I noticed that the default was "do not use this partition" which I think is odd. Or is it?

Unfortunately I do not get a side-by-side option on the machines I have access to (laptop already dual-booting, and VM is acting up :P ), so I can't confirm this on my side.

One query: in the screenshots I have seen so far, the existing partition is always fully labelled ("Ubuntu 13.10") but to-be-installed partition is always called just "Ubuntu" (rather than "Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS"). Is this intential?

This bug is now used to track a Stable Release Update. As per policy,
Stable Release Updates do not modify existing behavior in any way, but
to fix declared bug reports.

During Stable Release Updates, please make sure you can first
reproduce the bug in question (e.g. using 12.04.3 released desktop /
ubiquity image), before attempting to verify that the update fixes the
bugs it claims to fix. As otherwise it's hard to tell, if it resulted
in an improvements and didn't regress below the baseline.

If you have any support, behaviour / design questions, please open new
bug reports using "ubuntu-bug ubiquity".

First please try to reproduce your bugs/questions using a daily
release image, e.g. Trusty Tahr, which you can fetch from from:

     http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds

By selecting desired image type / architecture, and clicking through
to download instructions.

Even though ubiquity 2.10.29 landed in the Precise 20140124 images I was still unable to give this a verification-done status because of bug #1051935, but the python-apt and python-apt-common updates landed in the 20140125 i386 image so I can now almost safely change the status to verification-done. I even tested the "slider" but I did overlook bug #1240532 so I need to rinse-n-repeat to be sure there was no regression related to the "back button" ..... clearly the install button worked properly because the installation completed successfully. So I need to perform one last test being certain that the back button works OK ............. shouldn't be long.

In an overabundance of caution I tested the link to the "advanced partitioning tool" as well as the quit button and all is well so I'm marking this verification-done.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ubiquity has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

I'll really appreciate this the next time I need to install a dual-boot. Thanks everyone involved!
