Hey Evan, Here we go: 1: boot Kubuntu 64bit 2: at Welcome screen click Install Kubuntu (did not go in via the live system) 3: Click Forward on the Prepare Page 4: Next page is Allocate Drive Space and the default is "Guided - use entire partition" -- this is a possible confusion point for people who do this a lot. I expected the button to be "Forward" not Begin Install. -- initially on this page, I tried clicking on manual partitioning, but I accidentally clicked outside the area where the button would have been selected. Then, I clicked the "Install" button on this page, and that immediately started formatting the disk. 4.1: Click the Begin button, you get nothing confirming that you want to actually destroy the existing partition, partitioning just begins.
When "Guided - use entire partition" is selected, there is no confirmation dialog. Once you click that button (that I admittedly mistook for a "Forward", not a "Begin Install" initially, the formatting begins and there is no way back. So it's REALLY easy to mistakenly erase an existing partition. but I never saw any other page... only the Prepare Page that told me I needed at least X amount of disk space and Y amount of RAM, and then the page that lets you choose format options (Guided - Entire Partiton, Erase and use Entire Disk or Manual Partitioning), then it begins. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Opinion ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => New -- Ubiquity-kde starts partitioning and formatting without verifying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627663 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
