It looks like parted's gpt code simply throws out the upper 8 bits of each 16 bit character, which corrupts non ascii names. Later it tries to treat this corrupted name as a multi byte string ( which I think means UTF-8 ) and convert it to a wide character string, and this fails.
I'm not sure how to convert UTF-16 to the current locale encoding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ubiquity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238446 Title: Ubiquity is stuck after "Prepare" step To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1238446/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
