Comment 453 for bug 59695

I likewise must concur. I strongly support the open source movement, and like to help people switch to open source solutions on their computer. As other distributions continue to fix this problem, and Ubuntu doesn't, I'll have to tell them to avoid Ubuntu like the plague and install the distributions with the fixes pre-installed.

I really don't want to have to do this. However, I'm simply going to have to do so because if there's one distribution that won't destroy someone's hard drive, and another that will, it would be irresponsible of me to give them something that would trash their computer and data.

This is quite possibly the most important bug in Ubuntu right now. If a fix is not forthcoming quickly, I'll simply have to stop installing Ubuntu on other computers, and cease using it myself so that I can be familiar with the distribution that I help others install.

Please fix this bug before I'm forced to leave this otherwise excellent community.

Thank you.
