I am affected by this bug after trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 from LiveCD on a 4 GB USB stick in an Asus EeePC 901.
I also tried to format the stick with ext3 (using palimpsest to circumvent the gparted bug mentioned in the previous comment). But this did not help. Then I tried to delete the partition on the stick, but got a crash from udisks-helper-delete-partition. :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660942 Title: parted_server crashes during installation onto USB key. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
