I don't think this in fact has anything to do with the ubiquity- preserve-home specification. This is a request for default mountpoint assignments to be detected automatically.
I am inclined to say, though, that if you need this badly, you are not making very effective use of Ubuntu's built-in upgrade tools! Most people don't need to reinstall so frequently that having to assign mountpoints is a major hassle. ** Description changed: Now when you install and after the Language, country and time zone screen there is the partition screen. Now I always manually partition when I install but When the screen comes up to list the partitions, they are not listed as / or home but are given sda1 or something similar. This would indicate that somewhere between the time you are running the OS, without the cd, and the install screen, the drive designations are changed. Why is this happening? If I have a 9 gig partition set as home it should be recognized as home in the new OS without me having to change it, unless I want to. I know you have to check the box if you want to format, but why do both / and home have to be reassigned as / and home in a manual install? - - SPECIFICATION: - - See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-preserve-home -- home folder should stay as home folder in a fresh install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
