Details

Several topics have been already open in forum in order to remind that it is difficult (impossible?) to perform partitionning during Tribe session.
Chakra Team advise us to perform this task before booting Chahra-Live iso.

I noticed (even in last version of tribe-partitionmanager-1257912-1) this following:

User has to fill "numbers" typed fields (eg "Size") respecting number edit mask defined in "system settings/locale". This way is too drastic: if group separator = <blank> then user has to insert a blank char if he wants to create a partition > 999 MiB.

For example: if user wants to create a 4 GiB (4096 MiB) partition then he has to fill "size" field with "4 096"

Routine seems to be more persmissive with decimal separator:
"4 096", "4 096,00", "4 096,0" are considered as valid

"Bug" would be fixed if "4096", "4096,0" and "4096,00" were also considered as valid
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  This should be fixed upstream. Even more this part will be removed from Tribe by our own partitioner using UDisks2 so this is not being to be patched by Chakra.

Regarding the Chakra Team advising users to partition their drives before booting into the LiveMedia, I'm not sure what else can be done unfortunately. As you say there is information all over the forums, plus there is information on the wiki.

I did check the Beginner's Guide though, and I have made it more clear to reader's of the guide to partition their hard drive's before booting into the live environment.

What are your ideas? I would like to hear what you think.

Regarding a long term solution, the partitioning step/page in Tribe is currently being re-developed and hopefully that will solve the current difficulties in partitioning through Tribe.


Regarding the number group separator, I think that is too strict as well. The problem is that this is more of a KDE issue since Tribe uses KDE's settings for this. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of Tribe being developed with KDE libraries and technologies, is that KDE's issues affect Tribe.

On the other hand, KDE is supposed to follow your settings/preferences, so if you have chosen to use a blank space as your number group separator, it will :)

Can you try reproducing this issue elsewhere? Can you try entering in 4+ digit number in another program and tell me what happens?
