I don't have any NTFS partitions either. And for me the workaround as mentioned in #51 worked, although I skipped the whole /home2 part. I just: - kept my existing /home unmounted until the installation had finished - made a copy of everything in the created /home just to be sure (never needed it afterwards, though) - then edited the /etc/fstab file on the target disk to mount my existing /home - rebooted, done.
But I agree with #52, this is NOT a solution. I am curious what Canonical thinks is the best way (recommended flow) for existing Ubuntu users who prefer NOT to use the upgrade mechanism, but install a fresh setup instead and then re-use their existing /home. IMHO, this flow is very complicated (to non-techies) even if this bug were not present. Perhaps I should file a different bug for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946663 Title: Installer stuck at "Removing conflicting operating system files..."
