I have a Dell Mini 9 currently installing 11.04 i386 desktop from a USB flash disk. It had 10.10 on it. I booted from the flash disk, chose the Install option and the new (is it?) "upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04" option, got a little message to say I hadn't configured any swap, was returned to the partitioner, selected my previous swap partition to be used as swap, and then proceeded as usual. It had been showing the narwhals and the message "Removing conflicting operating system files..." for two hours or more. I Ctrl+Alt+F1, killed the last three (two processes + their parent, can't remember exact process details) ubiquity processes, got a 'cannot continue' dialogue, and elected to go through the install again from a desktop. This time I only got the 'Erase' and 'Something else' options. I chose the 'Something else' option, selected my existing / and swap partitions to be used without formatting.
... Time passes ... I'm almost certain this second time (no reboot, it's a follow-on from the "Removing conflicting...", that I *un-checked* the 'download files' option early on in the install. I checked it the first time through. It's currently "Retrieving file 9 of 30", which seems unexpected given the unchecked download option. It's also counting down seconds to zero for each file, which seems an odd thing to do. I don't know how useful any observations are after I killed those processes, so I'll post this just to record "still happening". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186147 Title: ubiquity "failed to remove conflicting files" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
