Public bug reported:
I recently tried to install Kubuntu 14.10 on my laptop, booting the iso
image saved on the SSD with grub directly. However, I was unable to
complete the installation because the installer got stuck. It insisted
that it must unmount all partitions on my SSD to update the partition
table but was unable to do that because the iso image it runs from was
on a mounted partition on the SSD.
In fact it was wrong for the installer to insists on this. My partition
table was prepared beforehand and there were no changes needed to it but
still installer insisted that it must. And then it just hanged
eventually.
Now, Grub2 has had the ability for direct booting iso images for close
to a decade now. Ubuntu should absolutely be install-able in this kind
of situation. This behaviour seemed stupid and I would've installed
something else if it weren't for the fact that I was specifically
looking to try a systemd-free distribution on my laptop.
