Ubuntu installer shakes up aligned partitions
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi!
Ubiquity, the installer for *Ubuntu (and Mint and?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquity_%28software%29
does not work correctly, if you prepare your partitions with GParted on SSD and align them. After installing Ubuntu or Mint on SSD, multiple mistakes can appear
(resized, moved, additional unallocated space) - in short: no longer aligned!
Important works in vain! Please see:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1344088/f...-ssd-alignment
and
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/th...dsheet.107126/
My notebook - Partition Info:
All partition were prepared and aligned with GParted before installing.
After having installed openSUSE 13.1 and Linux Mint 17:
openSUSE partition:
302620672 : 2048 = 147764 (integer => aligned)
LM17 partition and Ubuntu 14.04 partition:
(decimal number => not aligned!)

Request for examination:
Who has installed Mint or *Ubuntu on SSD? Could you please test, if your partition(s) is / are (if you have multiple) aligned and report?
Examples [SSD only!]:
Partion prepared with GP, aligned, after installing Mint 17: not aligned,
Partion prepared with GP, aligned, after installing openSuse 13.1: aligned.
