[Bug 1396380] Re: Installation stuck on "Preparing to install Ubuntu"
@Felipe; if it crashed, it's not this bug. Please file your own new bug so we can have a look and fix it. This depends highly on the system that runs the installer (some needs drivers, others don't), and on the speed of the network (very slow network will take a while to retrieve firmwares). There isn't much we can do about the fact that this needs to be retrieved, however we can improve on the design and possibly show a progress bar there. Triaging, but this certainly doesn't quality as "Critical". ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => Medium ** Summary changed: - Installation stuck on "Preparing to install Ubuntu" + No progress bar after "Preparing to install Ubuntu" when downloading microcode/updates -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396380 Title: No progress bar after "Preparing to install Ubuntu" when downloading microcode/updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396380/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still seems to be a problem with xenial - ubiquity seems to hang after selecting "install third party software" and clicking continue. >From `ps`ing and `strace`ing it looks like ubiquity is waiting for Intel-microcode and nvidia-340 to be installed, and that eventually succeeds (which takes an amount of time between annoying and exasperating depending on the speed of your network) but there is no progress dialog and the user experience suffers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396380 Title: Installation stuck on "Preparing to install Ubuntu" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396380/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This remains a problem with the 15.10 installer.

[Bug 1396380] Re: Installation stuck on Preparing to install Ubuntu
I have the same issue, also installing alongside Windows 7. I did `ps axjf' and noticed it was stuck running `ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sda2', which was called by a partman script. I assume the script was trying to determine the minimum size of the Windows partition to give an option to resize it. The path to the script on the LiveCD was: /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/option My workaround was the remove the part of the partman script responsible for calling ntfsresize, since I already had my disks prepartitioned. Ubiquity worked fine after that, and it was able to automatically install alongside Windows 7. I'm probably going to post about this in the Ubiquity package bug tracker. ntfsresize is really slow on real world NTFS file systems and shouldn't be being used by Ubiquity in such a way unless requested by the user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396380 Title: Installation stuck on Preparing to install Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396380/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that UbiquitySyslog.txt was flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches.
