Public bug reported: Binary package hint: partman-auto
I would like to give people a try using ubuntu but I fear to setup some trouble for them if they use win7. This isssue is described here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+question/99298 It is a MS related partitioning bug. To get around there are 3 ways possible: C) Most easily: You typically purchased a notebook where there are 3 primary partitions. Ubuntu Release Notes should mention that in case of dual boot you should only create one primary root partition not any more ! (no swap, no home, no further extended) B) A more sophisticated approach: Since Vista Windows needs a megabyte free space just in front of every first primary partition and a megabyte free space in front of every first logical partition in every extended partition. Partition your disk accordingly or give Windows7 Partitioniong Tool a try to configure your harddisk appropriet for a linux install (more easy?) C) Feature request: make linux partitioning tools feature a windows7 compatible mode. ** Affects: partman-auto (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- partitioning using mb boundaries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
