@ Robbie Williamson, Would it still be possible to amend the 10.10 Release notes? I realize it's a bit of a stretch to think everyone will read them but the devs certainly made the recommendation to read the Release notes very prominent on the same page of the installer where language is selected.
Currently their is an "Installer" link to the right hand side of the notes but it only says, "The Ubiquity Installer has been redesigned to be easier to use as well as to install drivers and download updates during installation." I don't know what exception would be required to edit that, but if we could add a prominent warning to the effect that [after selecting the "Install alongside other operating systems" option clicking on either the "Use entire partition" of "Use entire disc" buttons may. or quite likely will, result in a loss of data]. Could we ask a member of the Release Team? I'd feel a bit better if I could at least point to the release notes when telling someone they need to use TestDisk/PhotoRec to recover their data. @ Evan Dandrea, I'm looking forward to working with you. I'm sure this won't be easy and will undoubtedly require some consultation with the designers. You may first want to see if you agree with my decision on marking bug 659106 and bug 682429 as duplicates. I'll certainly try to help with testing in any way possible. I am curious though if the use of Xubuntu for 11.04 testing would matter since Unity is a bit flaky on my hardware? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655950 Title: Maverick ubiquity confusion w/ auto-resize option results in OS and data loss -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
