Hard power off and a second install keeping only to the defaults worked. What I was trying to do the first time was add more swap that was there by default. I guess if I really want to do that now I can fiddle with it in LVM.
So I probably goofed something up when manually partitioning, but the error message was totally worthless: install crashed or something similar... I didn't notice any indication of where to do looking for logs, and though perhaps I could have found some logs it was easier to just start over. Also note, if it matters, that the machine is a circa 2009 Dell mini9 (Atom), hence the need for 32-bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619969 Title: xubuntu crash trying to do new install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1619969/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
