Another user attempted to install on real hardware given the following partition map:

Disk /dev/sda: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sda7 468117504 484710399 16592896 7.9G Linux swap

/dev/sda6 contains a standard Kubuntu install. It is not encrypted
To be more clear about available space:

udev 4021440 0 4021440 0% /dev
tmpfs 808336 9668 798668 2% /run

tmpfs 808336 12 808324 1% /run/user/1000

Despite all that available space, he was not given the resize option.

Just to remove variables, I confirmed that LVM was not used and none of the Linux partitions are encrypted.

There is a GPT partition, so maybe that's the issue?

To further help figure this out, the output from running `ubiquity --debug` is attached. It seems the resize option is removed, though I'm not clear from the log how that conclusion was arrived at.
