Ubiquity do not allow choose partitioning methods

[Igor Morgado]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

After the keyboard choices in installation (doesnt matter if I choose Try ubuntu first or go to install ), ubiquity shows: Reading disks... window the window disapear and wait for long time, from a Terminal I could notice this:

 3294 ? S 0:00 gksudo --preserve-env --desktop /home/ubuntu/Desktop/ubiquity-gtkui.desktop -- /usr/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
 3296 ? Ss 0:00 \_ devkit-disks --inhibit -- /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
 3298 ? S 0:02 \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
 5970 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/debconf-communicate -fnoninteractive ubiquity
 5972 ? S 0:00 \_ log-output -t ubiquity --pass-stdout /bin/partman
 5973 ? S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /bin/partman
 6722 ? S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
 6761 ? S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
 6763 ? S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices
 6905 ? D 0:01 \_ ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sdb1

It automagicly started to try resize my data disk (ntfs 1.5tb), It was not shown any choices to me. Tried 5 times, same behavior.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD). Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd recommend testing your CD drive with other media. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!
