description |
My computer has a nVidia card and boots from CD to low-res. The installer went over twice the width of my screen when the partitioner started due to the number of partitions I have (I think). HOWEVER, I am not sure. Regardless, it made installation at that point rather difficult and had I not known to use the ALT+Left Mouse to drag the window, I would have been unable to continue the installation.
This is a serious bug for those that have my hardware and are NEW to Ubuntu.
I knew I would be OK once I installed because of the nVidia driver download option. |
Ubuntu 9.04 installer's window width increases too much in partitioning step if computer has other operating system(s) installed. This is because of text "This will delete ${SYSTEMS} and install ${RELEASE}." (debconf template ubiquity/text/part_format_warning). ${SYSTEMS} often is very long text, especially in notebook computers with "recovery partition", where is one more "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" or "Windows Vista (loader)" installed.
This problem is especially visible when LiveCD starts in 800x600 screen resolution (this often happens with NVIDIA graphic cards or Asus EeePC netbooks) and has other operating systems installed. Ubuntu installer's window expands over twice the width of my screen when in the partitioning step.
For simple user it's impossible to continue the installation, because button "Forward" is not visible :(
It's a serious bug for those that are NEW to Ubuntu.
For the majority of real situation this bug can be fixed by simply adding line break after installed operating system list ({SYSTEMS}) - I've fixed partitioning step window's width problem by applying this patch against debconf templates:
Name: ubiquity/text/part_format_warning
-Description: This will delete ${SYSTEMS} and install ${RELEASE}.
+Description: This will delete ${SYSTEMS} \n and install ${RELEASE}.
