Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 from an Alternate CD and then install Ubuntu 8.10 Beta from a Live CD. The 8.10 CD boots correctly, but at Step 4 of 7 (Prepare disk space) I have found a few things that surprised me.
I selected
Guided - resize SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) and use free space
I would expect that when I resize the drive an actual percentage change happens in the "After section" for "/dev/sda1" "/dev/sda5" and "Ubuntu 8.10" except Ubuntu 8.10 has a negative number (eg. -34%) when the bar right below it says it is using up 61% of the drive! Very confusing.
After sliding the partition line to create a dual boot Hardy/Intrepid system the partitioner gets half way into resizing the partition when it pooches out and gives the following error:
Resize operation failure
An error occurred while writing changes to the storage devices.
The resize operation has been aborted.
I highly recommend that more testing be made on the partitioner in Intrepid, otherwise simply bring back this step from Hardy. New graphics are nice but at this stage functionality is key.

Percentage shows swap space changing (wrong) and new partition shows as negative number (wrong) shown in attached video.
