ubiquity warns about /usr being too small

[Przemek K.]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was installing Hardy Alpha 5 today on a PC with 2 hard drives.
I chose manual partitioning and created the following partitions:
/dev/hda1 40GB (whole disk) ext3 primary /media/hda1
/dev/hdb1 20GB ext3 primary /
/dev/hdb2 ~43GB ext3 primary /home
/dev/hdb3 1.5GB swap primary
When I clicked "next" the partitioner warned me that the size of /usr is too small (note that I didn't create any separate /usr partition) and has to be at least ~1.5GB (I don't remember the precise number - it was in bytes). I clicked on "skip" (or whatever that button was) and completed the installation without any problems.
This bug seems to not break anything, but it may be confusing for some users.

Przemysław,

Could you please provide /var/log/installer/syslog from the installed system. If this file is not present, can you try the install again (using a daily live CD, if possible: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live ) and provide /var/log/syslog from the live CD environment after the install completes?

Thanks!

Changing to confirmed as logs have been provided.

I can see something that might be causing this. Is it possible that you selected /usr to be mounted somewhere at some point while using the partitioner, and then changed that?

[Przemek K. (azrael)]

No, I don't remember touching /usr at all. I've just created / and /home.

Are you able to reproduce this at all? Especially on 12.04 or later?
