Public bug reported: Hi there, the Kubuntu installer GUI froze at 0% for about 20 minutes at the formatting swap partition stage...
I'm test installing it onto an old 6gig maxtor, which took another o/s no problem. I'm wondering if the maxtor is too old. I'm going to try installing onto different drive..but I thought you might want this posting anyway the same thing happened with the ubuntu liveCD... p.s. I closed the installer...which is when it gave me this error report Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ? install(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 309, in run self.progress_loop() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 520, in progress_loop ret = dbfilter.run_command(auto_process=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 128, in run_command self.start(auto_process=auto_process) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 45, in start self.db = DebconfCommunicator(PACKAGE, cloexec=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py", line 125, in __init__ write=self.dccomm.tochild) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py", line 48, in __init__ self.setUp(title) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py", line 51, in setUp self.version = self.version(2) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py", line 60, in <lambda> lambda *args, **kw: self.command(command, *args, **kw)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py", line 81, in command status = int(status) ValueError: invalid literal for int(): ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: - Hi there, the installer GUI froze at 0% for about 20 minutes at the - formatting swap partition stage... + Hi there, the Kubuntu installer GUI froze at 0% for about 20 minutes at + the formatting swap partition stage...
