update to my above comment: selecting just sda2 on "/" and no "/home" and the installation worked.
and in case somebody else has this problem: I just had to fiddle around in the /etc/fstab to get my /home on first startup (I did this immediately in recovery as root) and changing the ownership of all my files to the one of my first user (i.e. 1000) using "chown -R 1000:1000 /home/<username>" -- ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_user() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
