This will also be fixed in the first Dapper point release: ubiquity (1.0.13) dapper-updates; urgency=low
* Don't require entering a full name (see http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/os-install-experiences-part-4-ubuntu). * GTK frontend: - Return None from location_from_point if point is None (thanks to Chris Moore for the idea; closes: Malone #48885). * KDE frontend: - Add slightly more paranoia in case getNearestCity returns None. * Don't show hw-detect/modprobe_error, and make it non-fatal (closes: Malone #48524). * Make it clear in the crash dialog that you should file a new bug, not attach your details to an existing bug. * Take a copy of the supplied choice map in set_keyboard_choices. * Save tracebacks from install.py and slurp them back into the traceback displayed if install.py exits non-zero. * Warn in the partitioner if you try to use XFS for /boot (closes: Malone #47848). * Warn in the partitioner if system filesystems are not reformatted (closes: Malone #47046). * Use os._exit() rather than sys.exit() in the apt install progress child process after forking, fixing a lot of strange "PROGRESS STOP" messages in /var/log/installer/syslog and bizarre debconf exceptions. See also Malone #53298. * Use 'replace' Unicode error handling when dealing with data coming from debconf (closes: Malone #44595, #48732). * Fix ubiquity/install/apt_error_install and ubiquity/install/apt_error_remove templates to be of type 'error' (closes: Malone #53258). * Install more defence against gparted/qtparted crashing (closes: Malone #47194, #48856). * If gparted or qtparted crashes, put up a dialog allowing the user to try again, return to autopartitioning, or quit the installer. This is a pretty awful hack, but hopefully we won't be using gparted/qtparted for all that much longer ... * Fix crash in KDE frontend while translating widgets (closes: Malone #53367). * When an error occurs with the install progress bar up, only return to autopartitioning if the partitioner is still running. * Turn DebconfInstallProgress upside-down so that the main process handles apt installation and the subprocess handles the translation of apt status messages into debconf protocol messages, rather than the other way round. The previous approach resulted in exceptions from apt ending up in the wrong process. * Silence apt errors while installing language packs, since we ignore them anyway. * Point apt at /target/var/lib/dpkg/status rather than /var/lib/dpkg/status (closes: Malone #47859). * Display grub-installer/install_to_xfs question if it's asked. * Fix get_filesystems() not to assume ext3 in quite so many situations. * Detect XFS for validation purposes even when it wasn't just formatted by gparted/qtparted (closes: Malone #53642). * Fix all mentions of gparted in the KDE frontend. * Leave existing newworld boot partitions alone when committing manual partitioning changes. * Always set mirror/country to the country selected on the timezone page, regardless of what localechooser does thereafter (closes: Malone #40107). * Automatic update of included source packages: localechooser 0.27ubuntu23, user-setup 1.1ubuntu4. -- Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 27 Jul 2006 23:04:52 +0100 -- [PATCH] crashed as soon as I clicked on the map to zoom in step 2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/48885 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
