RC Total crash with factory-new HDD that has no "disk label" set

[Grizzly]

Binary package hint: ubiquity, gparted

Insert a brand new (s-ata) HDD that has no "disk label" set (as reports gparted-live cd).
When using "manual partitioning" in the live install, the installer of 7.10 RC will crash.
After using gparted live cd, setting the disk label to "msdos" and making one "sda1" partition and rebooting the liveCD, partitioning and installation was possible.

NB: I also had to boot to "safe graphics" because nvidia tend to crash in normal mode, and I used amd64x2 "asus pundit" barebone with onborad nvidia

How can I switch "baltix" to "ubuntu" ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Jaunty Jackalope. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the package doesn't fit the requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.

Nice to hear that after two years this has been sorted out. Very pleased, indeed. LP rocks (even if I did not have any disks lying around last year to test it with intrepid or the like!
