Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
I am using feisty beta (Hmmm, the one downloadable here: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta). My partition table: $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80060424192 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9733 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1094 8787523+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda3 1095 6272 41592285 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1095 1290 1574338+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 1291 1486 1574338+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 1487 2443 7687071 83 Linux /dev/sda8 2444 2990 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda9 2991 3537 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda10 3538 4084 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda11 4085 4631 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda12 4632 5178 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda13 5179 5725 4393746 83 Linux /dev/sda14 5726 6272 4393746 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 1245 10000431 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 1246 3735 20000925 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 3736 9729 48146805 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 3736 8964 42001911 83 Linux /dev/sdb6 8965 9523 4490136 83 Linux /dev/sdb7 9524 9729 1654663+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris I configured the partitioning manually and assigned /dev/sdb6 to / (formating) and /dev/sdb2 to /home. I mounted partitions while looking for fstab, through nautilus and forgot to umount /dev/sdb2. (Actually nautilus didn't mention I could umount, but I was umounting my partitions anyway). When the system was just about to install (After pressing continue at step 7 of 7), ubiquity said: "/media/_home is mounted and busy" (I was with a doc open). And I closed the doc and umounted it, and then I pressed "continue" (It was saying: "ubiquity will try to umount"..). Then the installer just quits. No error message, etc. Maybe it was trying to umount a partition that is already umounted, I don't know. I was not very happy with this because now the manual partitioning is just slow (It re-reads the HD after every UI change..), I wonder why the partition manager changed, but there must be a good reason :). PS: Error messages are actually inacurate because a) I was installing in portuguese and b) I already closed the installer.. (it is installing now -- I just kept all partitions umounted when confirming the installation) ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Crash when preparing to install with busy mounted partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
