Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When I install Feisty and I choose to do Manual partitioning, there is
nothing that Ubiquity does to tells me why I cannot add a new partition
in the free space. I already have four primary partitions defined so
of course I cannot add another partition. However, unless I already
knew there is a limit of four primary/extended partitions, I would think
that the "Prepare partitions" was broken because when you double-click
on the "free space", nothing happens.
How to recreate:
Launch Feisty LiveCD install,
In "Prepare Disk Space" step, select Manual partitioning.
Add partitions until there are four primary partitions defined, leaving some
"free space" yet.
Double-click on the "free space".
Instead of getting the "Create partition" dialog box, nothing happens.
Expected behavior:
If I try to add a fifth partition, maybe display an error message to tell me
that there is a limit of four primary partitions, and that to get more
partitions I can go with three primary partitions and then add logical
partitions from there?
