During installation process: Clicking "advanced partitioning tool" won't open partitioning tool

[Philip Langer]

When installing Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1 from Desktop Live CD (i386), the link "advanced partitioning tool" [for more control...] in the installation wizard doesn't open the partitioning tool. Instead, nothing happens, which hinders users to change the partitioning settings before installing Ubuntu Oneiric.

If you need more information, let me know.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for your report. I confirmed it on Oneiric

Issue looks like bug 830895 with a similar message in the logs:
(ubiquity:4845): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to show '': Operation not supported

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.30

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.30) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Harald Sitter ]
  * [KDE] Fix language selection comobox position within grid (LP: #743062)
  * [KDE] Make intro label miminum expanding, otherwise word wrap will not
    work for vast amounts of text

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY so our custom panel doesn't lose its
    indicators (LP: #837287).
  * Port the panel to GTK3.
  * Manually connect the activate-link signal on the advanced
    partitioning tool link on the automatic partitioning page.
    GtkBuilder signal mapping appears to be broken (LP: #852054).
  * The first partitioning page does not translate its options ahead of
    time, so ensure that the placeholder text isn't so long as to create
    the installer window to grow excessively large before partitioning
    is reached (LP: #837406).
  * Use the new network-manager interface on the prepare page to disable
    options that need an Internet connection when one is not available
    (LP: #848938).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel
    2.28ubuntu33.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Change wallpaper C program to accept a path to a wallpaper as a parameter.
  * Update ubiquity-dm to set the right wallpaper for Edubuntu.
  * Fix ibus in Ubiquity (LP: #838850)

  [ Aurélien Gâteau ]
  * gui/qt/stepKeyboardConf.ui
   - Put keyboard variable combobox on separate line (LP: #851160)

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
