Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
The newbie user who selects manual partitioning is allowed to click the Forward button without doing any partitioning and continue the installation process (Step 7, then Step 8) and then is allowed to select the "Install" button. After clicking the "Install" button, the "Installing system" status box is then displayed, and the message is "Detecting file systems ..." is shown. An error dialog box titled "No root file system" is then displayed with the message: "No root file system is defined Please correct this from the partitioning menu." User then clicks the "OK" button to dismiss the error and the installer ends, leaving the user back at the desktop. Expected behavior: After the user clicks "Forward" in the "Prepare partitions" installation step, perform the "Detecting file systems" at that time so Ubiquity can then deny advancing the user to the next step if no root partition has been specified during the "Prepare partitions" step. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Manual partitioning allows user to continue without specifying root partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/85715 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
