Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When hardy's ubiquity is running from live cd it sometimes hangs, its
migration assistant gives an incomplete list of userid candidates, and
nautilus pops up /home/ubuntu windows.
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
Applies to ubiquity and its component (dependency) os-prober
Ubiquity leaves behind a set of its mounts, and those mounts overlap on
one mount point, with latter mounts necessarily obscuring earlier ones.
The mounts left behind are not always the same.
Background:
I'm running on an older pc with quite a few partitions. When I run
ubiquity from the daily test live cd from 4/29/2008 I get the above
errors. When I investigated the leftover mounts I found I could get
ubiquity to resume from the hang by un-mounting the leftover mounts.
Running ubiquity with most partitions mounted beforehand allows it to
run properly. I believe this is why running ubiquity from my already
installed hardy system doesn't hang or produce the other symptoms. (My
installed system mounts all existing partitions through /etc/fstab.)
Some findings, diagnostic files, suggested patches, and suggested
circumventions will follow below.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
