I noticed this in the syslog: Nov 1 15:48:08 ubuntu partman: mke2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Nov 1 15:48:08 ubuntu partman: Found a dos partition table in /dev/sda10
It seems you have something that looks like a dos partition table in /dev/sda10. I'm guessing that mke2fs is printing that warning and then asking if you want to continue, and it never gets any input since it isn't actually connected to a tty. partman-ext3 probably needs to add a -F. As a workaround, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda10 count=1 should clear it out. ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => partman-ext3 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: partman-ext3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: partman-ext3 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361951 Title: Utopic installation freezes during partition creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-ext3/+bug/1361951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
