Public bug reported: I'm trying to install a KVM virtual machine using the ubuntu 19.10 live iso. It always gets as far as the step where it is going to format the blank disk (in this case a newly created qcow2 image with a 20G size limit). I then see the virtual machine go to 100% cpu usage and the installer goes completely unresponsive.
I've tried this on a centos 7 host and a fedora 31 host with the same result on both. I've tried telling it to let me customise the partitions and letting it automatically create partitions with the same result - 100% cpu loop and hung unresponsive interface (sometimes a black screen, sometimes the partition tool, but not responding). The specific iso file is ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso. I've checked the checksums and verified the signature, so it doesn't seem to be corrupted. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851383 Title: disk format hang during install of 19.10 in KVM virtual machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1851383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
