Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Release: 13.10

ubiquity:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.15.18
  Version table:
     2.15.18 0
        500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages

Expected Outcome: All the testcases mentioned on this URL: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info should have been completed successfully.

Actual Outcome: After clicking on the "Forward" button on the "Install FAMILY XX.XX alongside SYSTEM YY", the "Where are you?" screen is displayed. However, as per the instructions mentioned on this URL: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info , the "Install FAMILY XX.XX alongside SYSTEM YY" screen should appear. This screen is supposed to show a slider. This slider can be dragged around to decide how much of disk space is to be allotted to each Operating System.

You seemed to have enough empty disk-space available and thus it simply installed the new ubuntu into available disk-space.

When performing "install along side" test case, make sure you use 1 hard-drive with an operating system install, which uses complete disk space.
