The Maverick (10.10) live usb media (32 bit desktop) displayed this problem, refusing to get past a hibernated embedded windows which did not affect previous installations back to Intrepid. I believe the hibernated Windows partition was for a quick start of media player for DVDs or CDs but has never been used to my knowledge. The installer stalled on the Ubuntu screen with the colored dots. Typing ESC got to the underlying error screen.
The (manually copied) error was: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount "/dev/sda3": Operation not permitted. The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount options, or mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda3 /cdrom -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156477 Title: Installer fails if windows on another partition is hibernated -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
