Public bug reported: I tried to update my (cryptsetup) Kubuntu 7.04 with an earlier tribe. This failed - I had hope ... ;-)
Now I am trying a clean install with the gutsy beta. I added to #122645 after tribe 4 but my comments there where deleted. It could be related and I still do not understand why the editing took place ... The symptoms have not changed with the beta. I want to install Kubuntu (as it was with 7.04) in /dev/sda6 (/boot as ext2) and /dev/sda7 (/ as XFS). The installer hangs when formatting the /dev/sda7 showing a dialog "formatting XFS 5%" I can format manually via mkfs.xfs After removing the system partition check like in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubiquity/+question/7844 it stalls on formatting the swap partition. After explicitly NOT using swap it stalls at "Ermittle Dateisysteme" (checking filesystems?) I have not tried installing without manual partitioning sinnce there are other working OSs on this machine in different partitions and I want to keep them. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [gutsy beta] installer hangs when formatting partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
