parameters problem in Feisty hard drive partitioner program

[wpshooter]

On Feisty herd 3, if you type the wrong character in the parameter box (i.e. anything that does NOT start with "/") for the mounting point, then there seems to be no way to exist out of the error diagonal window (or at least that I could find). And by the way, the drop down for the mounting point parameter is not populated.

Also, I might point out that the hard drive partitioner in Feisty herd 3 is not very intuitive at all. The display for your open hard drive pops up and then you have NO clue as to what it is that you are supposed to do next to get the process started.

Thanks.

To be sure: Do you mean the graphical installer (Desktop- CD) or the text mode installer (Alternate- CD)?

I do mean DESKTOP installer.

Thanks for your report. I've fixed the error loop for my next upload, and you should find that it'll be a bit more obvious what to do with that upload since I've added buttons to the display, although the full user interface as designed isn't in place yet (that's known and doesn't need a bug).

The lack of population of the mountpoint drop down is also bug 85713.

  * New partitioner:
    - Fix edit dialog not to try to resize partitions even if the resize
      spinbutton was left untouched (LP: #85227).
    - Add contextual buttons to GTK frontend (part of LP: #83166).
    - Add an undo facility.
    - partman-* updates add validation support (LP: #82768); also add
      XFS-on-/boot validation.
    - Break out of setting the mountpoint if it's invalid (LP: #84543).
  * Fix crash if multiple newworld boot partitions are present (LP: #84429).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Fix backup from user information page if migration-assistant is not
      active (LP: #85642).
    - Fix up step numbers if migration-assistant is disabled (LP: #85711).
    - Disable smooth zooming, as some video drivers are very slow at drawing
      this and it's hard to handle this dynamically (LP: #67572).
  * Fill in a default username based on the user's full name (LP: #84550).
  * Retranslate Forward button when going back from summary page
    (LP: #86047).
