Public bug reported: While installing Kubuntu Feisty Fawn Herd 1 I noticed that the partition manager failed (it displays weird entries and refuses to display the dialog to alter the partitions). I think it's because I had two partitions on my disk, which were created with Windows XP. They were not formatted, but had the partition ID for FAT 16.
Solution: I altered the partition IDs with fdisk and formatted the partitions. Now the partition manager works again. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Hurd 1 Alternative installation: partition manager fails under specific circumstances https://launchpad.net/bugs/75011 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
