Bug Description

using ubiquity 1.0.0 upgraded to on the daily live 20060519.

in the manual partition editor, when i try to unmount a fat16 partition (by right clicking on it and choosing deactivate) i am told
"could not deactivate swap
invalid argument"

the mounted fat16 partition is on hdd
there is a mounted swap, and some other linux partitions on hda.

Select "Unmount" instead. It's a gparted bug that you see a "Deactivate" option.

unmount was not shown, only deactivate.

I suspect that the installer-mode patch has broken this by not taking account of different menu indices in the code that disables the Unmount and Deactivate options depending on the filesystem type.

I believe I've fixed this in gparted 0.2.5-1.1ubuntu1 in edgy by correcting the menu index calculations in various places.
