Hi there, I've assigned your question to the Ubuntu desktop team. They should be able to provide some advice. You may like to answer the following: did you select "manually partition disk" "use available free space" or "do it automatically"? --- I'm moving this to Ubuntu, as I can't see a relation to SoaS right now. Please let me know or correct this, if needed.
