"Failed to unmount partitions" dialog unintuitive

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The dialog asks us "Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?"

I expect to be able to answer "yes" or "no". However, I have the options "Go back" and "Continue". See: http://www.ucc.asn.au/~mccabedj/ccache/Screenshot-Hardy-YesNo.png

I think a bit, and decide "Continue" probably means Yes/Retry, but it bumps me back to the previous menu.

Agreed. This is actually a general problem with boolean questions emitted by partman; for some reason ubiquity renders all of them as Continue/Go Back questions. I think this was because many of them were "Go back to the menu and correct errors?" questions. We could probably do better nowadays.

Ran into this myself. It seems that "continue" means unmount and "go back" don't unmount.

[Andreas Kern (kerna)]

yes/no are BAD options

The Buttons should read "No" and "Unmount"

atm, there is a pretty long text and the third sentences reads "Do You want the installer to try to u...." and then u just got y/n.
