** Summary changed:
- "Format" partition edit option appears to keep reverting to "Keep"
+ no clear indication that format has been selected
** Changed in: calamares (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Bug watch added: Calamares Issues #1120
https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1120
** Also affects: calamares via
https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1120
Importance: Unknown
Status: Unknown
** Description changed:
- Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
+ STEPS TO REPRODUCE
+ 1. Select manual partitioning
+ 2. Select a partition
+ 3. Click "Edit"
+ 4. Click the "Format" radio button
+ 5. Click "OK"
+ 6. Note anywhere that formatting is mentioned
+ 7. Select the partition
+ 8. Click "Edit"
+ 9. Click the "Format" radio button
+ 10. Click "OK"
- In doing a manual install, I always format the '/' root partition, but
- leave all others alone.
+ EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
+ * The main screen would have a column showing whether or not formatting has
been selected
+ * The "Format" radio button would be selected in the dialog upon further
edits
+ * In the summary screen, formatting is only done once
- Thus for all others, I kept the partition edit option at "Keep".
+ ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
+ * The main screen shows no information about whether or not formatting is to
occur
+ * The "Keep" radio button is selected in the dialog upon further edits
+ * In the summary screen, formatting is shown twice
- After changing the partition for '/' to "Format", I noticed that there was no
display column for "Format?" as there is for gparted, to see at a glance which
partitions were to be formatted.
- Therefore, I went back and edited the partition, and found that the option
was no longer "Format", but had reverted to "Keep".
- I tried several times to change it to "Format", and each time it reverted to
"Keep".
-
- When I decided to go ahead with the install anyway, I was presented with a
list of tasks to be effected, the first five (!) of which were "Format sdb_ as
"/" (or some such wording).
- I hope that it did not actually format the partition 5 times (but it did seem
to take a while!).
