Public bug reported: I downloaded the alpha 4 CD image, checked MD5, burned a CD, and run it.
I did not go far. After choosing language, location, keyboard, it says it is starting the partition manager, and that is it. Nothing happens after, so I had to press the power button to switch the PC off. Nothing much special with my PC. It is a 4.5 year old Dell Dimension. It has two hard disks, the master with two partitions, Dell Utility, and Windows XP. The second disk however, has 12 partitions with a number of empty spaces in between. Some partitions have Ubuntu or Kubuntu (ext4), others are empty, one is for Windows swapping. Also the partition numbers are not in order, for example, after sdb10 comes sdb5. My guess is that the partition editor got confused and lost! Today I installed jaunty for a different test and all went well. So this is a karmic bug. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ubuntu karmic alpha 4 - possible partition editor bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413949 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
