This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.20.0 --------------- ubiquity (2.20.0) utopic; urgency=medium
* Exclude free space from counts of deleted partitions. * There are far too many situations where we fail to accurately detect all the operating systems installed on the disk, and we must defend in depth against losing user data as a result of this. This includes not misleading users into believing that an option will erase less than it in fact does. Therefore, never describe the use_device autopartitioning mode in any way other than "Erase disk and install Ubuntu", and offer separate "Erase Ubuntu <version> and reinstall" and "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" options even if we believe that the disk only contains Ubuntu (LP: #1265192). * Always show a confirmation dialog before committing partitioning. I've read considerably more reports of users having their data destroyed by some misunderstanding or other of the partitioner than I'm comfortable with; if a slightly ugly confirmation even when we think things are clear saves some people from that, then it's worth it, and it adds another layer of defence against bugs. * Update translations from Launchpad. -- Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 16 Oct 2014 01:38:28 +0100 ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265192 Title: Install/reinstall wipes out all/other partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1265192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
