(Get the code!)
@ Dave Walker,
I think we'd be foolish to rip into ubiquity this late in Oneiric for such a relatively minor bug. Note what I said in post #2:
#1: If someone is really paying attention they can either choose the advanced option or quit the install.
#2: If they're not paying attention the install seems to do the right thing anyway so they'll never know.
I'd much prefer this be looked at again in P ;^)
IMHO the most serious bug in ubiquity is bug 766265, and even with that, I'd hate to see ubiquity torn into this late in the process.
I've tested extensively, beyond the prescribed iso-testing criteria, with Oneiric Beta 2 and I've found no conditions under which we'd cause a loss of data as we did with bug 655950. I think we must never risk such a thing again, unless it's very early in the Alpha stage of development when only experienced testers should be installing recklessly.
Many thanks, Lance.
