Lance, it looks like xnox has assigned himself this bug and is working on it. I've not run across it, but looking at the comments it seems like a certain partition setup is needed. That said, your obviously keeping your eye on it, which is a good thing. If your testing during the cadence week and slamming into this bug, just file the result with the bug report and use the workarounds to keep going. There might other issues plaguing the installer.

I know it can feel frustrating to see bugs sit, but keep at it. Make sure the devs can reproduce, and ask for status updates or offer to help as needed. Recently, jackson and phil have successfully been able to work with the testdrive and dev folks to get fixes in for testdrive and virtualbox. It took them a bit and they definitely kept at it, asking different people to help along the way. It's just a recent example of being helpful and showing concern for the bug in question. Keep plugging away. Making a thread dedicated to the bug on the mailing list is another way to raise visibility amongst everyone and help you (and all of us) to drive the bug.

there are things getting fixed, but not many. there doesn't seem to be enough testing though, even just to get some bugs confirmed. some bugs in the iso tracker have been "new" for a few months.

    Do you have a bug report # for that ubiquity bug?

    I'm aware of this bug:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701

    It's been bugging many of us since mid-November but we obviously
    no longer care about the ability to install and/or test the images
    until Beta falls :^(

    I hate to be the turd in the punch-bowl, but why bother testing if
    nothing ever gets fixed?

    PS: this is an indication that "cadence" should be renamed, maybe
    to "we'll look at it later"!

        Hi good people,

        as we run through cadence testing, there does seem to be a
        lack of testing. Can I ask that people do test out the DeskTop
        versions for lubuntu and xubuntu as we seem to have a gremlin
        in ubiquity that may only affect our Virtual Machines. Also
        when you take the time out to try the 'alternate' ISOs for
        lubuntu, would you also please check out the basic
        ubuntu-server ISO, as it is required for us to maintain
        support for the lubuntu-alternate ISO series.

        Regards,

        Phill.

        P.S. if anyone who is receiving this sort of email for the
        first time, please have a read of both the below links and
        feel free to get in touch.
