Had the same problem today trying to reinstall 13.04 Kubuntu. Disc Structure i had before (where installer worked without the problem): /dev/sda (750GB HDD) sda2 - ext4 (home partition) sda1 - ntfs (windows data partition) sda3 - ext4 (root partition for 13.04) /dev/sdb (120GB SSD) sdb1 - ntfs (windows) sdb2 - root partition for 12.10
i then changed partitions for the reinstall to (prior trying to install) /dev/sda (750GB HDD) sda1 - unchanged ntfs (windows data) sda3 - unchanged ext4 (data storage) extended partition: - sda5 - ext4 /boot - sda6 - ext4 /tmp - sda7 - ext4 /home /dev/sdb (SSD) sdb1 - ntfs unchanged extended partition - dev/sdb5 - ext4 root for 12.10 install - dev/sdb6 - ext4 root for 13.04 install and then had the installer error hanging at step 2. I tried all the stuff above without success, except mounting all drives before starting the installer did solve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 Title: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubiquity/+bug/1080701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
