Bugs

  • do not display /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1; instead, show human-readable description of device, and always consume the entire device when selecting "Wipe disk"
  • Only offer the "smartest" choice. If they don't have a partition table, then only
  • Show existing partitions if they are any
  • Show lsusb abstracted name instead of device name
  • Detect other filesystem quirks and force format (FAT16 or USB key that has no partition table i.e. partition direct on device - unless --whole-disk is used)
  • keep existing files on the disk

Done

  • Make startup disk button needs to be greyed out when disk and iso are not selected
  • when formatting block user interface and show progress bar.

Random Ideas

  • automated tests?
    • 13:23 <ev> xnox: on the automated tests front, do check out the usb gadget module in the kernel. It will let you write system tests without having to plug in a physical usb device.

  • better message if you try to install something that's not an ubuntu iso
  • NTFS disk support
  • clone an existing usb stick (allowing for different sizes; might cause ui confusion)
