install crash click format & HD not SCSI

[Francisco T.]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

kubuntu feisty beta live cd

I selected manual partition, selected ext3 partition, changed the partition to "/" and clicked format, then it crashed.

Also My hard drive is not SCSI but the installer showed me "dev/SDA" SCSI

Thanks for your report; I've fixed this for my next upload.

Many disks are /dev/sd* these days despite not being SCSI, due to the introduction of libata. That part isn't a bug.

ubiquity (1.4.4) feisty; urgency=low

  * New partitioner:
    - Mark unusable free space as such (part of LP: #86202).
    - Add "Used" column (LP: #96126).
    - Pressing Enter in the create/edit dialog mount point entry box
      activates the OK button.
  * Old partitioner: Work around yet another hard-to-explain crash due to a
    partition being missing from /proc/partitions (LP: #73058).
  * KDE frontend:
    - Disable subsidiary autopartitioning options according to the primary
      selection (thanks to Thorbjørn Tux for prompting me with suggestions;
      LP: #85980).
    - Guard against on_partition_list_*_activate being called with no
      partition selected (LP: #95429).
  * Issue a debugging message any time a process exits, not just when it
    exits non-zero.
  * Disable migration-assistant if using the old partitioner: it crashes and
    is probably too much trouble to fix.
  * Avoid crashing in certain progressposition methods if no progress bar is
    running (LP: #51077).
  * Return to partitioning if you back up from partman-commit (LP: #78930).
  * Adjust ubiquity/text/partition_help, ubiquity/text/finished_label,
    debian/intro-alpha.txt, and debian/intro-beta.txt to avoid the
    grammatical error "make sure to" (LP: #86284).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.70ubuntu6, partman-auto 62ubuntu8, partman-partitioning 47ubuntu5,
    silo-installer 1.07ubuntu4.
