Public bug reported: during installation i made the following selections: - Prepare disk space: Manually edit partition table - Prepare partitions - Prepare mount points
in the "Prepare mount points" phase, the user is shown all the disk partitions which exist. the installer asks for the user to choose which partitions to mount where and if the user wants to reformat partitions. because this screen doesn't show partition types it is very easy to make mistakes in this phase if you want to install Ubuntu on a disk that already has another Linux or a Windows installation that should be preserved. partition types should be shown to the user in this screen. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Prepare mount points should show partition types https://launchpad.net/bugs/61994 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
