Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
The pull-down menu for Mount Point does not list any options.
To reproduce,
In the installer, at Step 5 "Prepare disk space", select "Manual" then click the Forward button.
This displays the next step, "Prepare partitions".
Right-click on "free space" and select "New".
A dialog box titled "Create partition" is displayed.
Click on the pull-down selection for "Mount point:" field.
No items are shown in the list.
Expected results:
The following list should be displayed in the pull-down selector:
/ - the root file system
/boot - static files of the boot loader
/home - user home directories
/tmp - temporary files
/usr - static data
/var - variable data
/srv - data for services provided by the system
/opt - add-on application software packages
/usr/local - local hierarchy
The selector is the only way to enter the mount point -- the field will not let the user enter the mount point as text either.
Workaround:
After specifying the new partition, user can right-click on the partition name and select "Edit". A dialog box "Edit partition" is displayed, and the Mount point: pull-down selector now will show the list of mount points from above.
Recommended:
The full list of mount points should exist in the Mount point pull-down selector.
