Hi F18 testers,
Me too, in VirtualBox!
My problem: I don't see any button for reviewing the partition
layout!
There is only a line at the bottom of the disk selection window:
"1 disk selected; <size> Gb capacity; <size> Gb free...",
and if I click on this line, I get a popup window describing the
selected disk, and allowing me to press two buttons: "remove" and
"close". How to perform the partitioning review?
Did you possibly miss the review partitioning thing? Are you using
TC3?
It's definitely there. 64 bit, TC3 from the 17th, I think,
netinstall.
Choose English (in my case) do the Accept my fate thing, then I see
the
screen with various icons, including Installation Destination, with
yellow
triangle and ! in it.
Hi Scott,
happens too on my box.
Click that and I see the disk, click Continue.
Ooops, that was the culprit. I did not click on "continue" inside the
storage window in this situation (this is similar to the sahara
desert/timbuktu). What I did was clicking on "back" for additionally
configuring other things like language or timezone.
Now I can try a real install.
Thanks a lot for your help :-)
One note on this: this option probably doesn't do what you think.
In oldUI, you could pick any one of the 'autopart' options, and check a
box marked 'Review and modify partition layout'. Then anaconda would run
the autopart algorithm, come up with a layout, and then display the
custom partitioning screen with the proposed layout, allowing you to
accept it, reject it, or adjust it.
This checkbox in newUI is named something very similar to the checkbox
in oldUI that I just described, but it does not actually do the same
thing. It doesn't run any of anaconda's autopart algorithms and then go
into custom mode to show you the result: it just goes straight to custom
mode. It is effectively the same thing as clicking 'Custom partition
layout' (or whatever it was called) in oldUI, *not* the same thing as
clicking 'Use all space' or 'Use free space' or whatever and checking
the 'review and modify' checkbox.
So when you check that box in newUI, you're just put in the custom
partitioning mode without a viable layout being already present. You
can't just continue with the installation; you have to actually
construct a viable partition layout from 'scratch' (the current state of
the disk) first.
anaconda team has acknowledged that this is needlessly confusing and
will do something to make it less likely people will expect the same
behaviour as they got with oldUI.
