Just to note, still occurring in utopic. I left the installer overnight with no progress. I have existing RAID partitions and two LVM containers, home and var.
After killing the first installer, I tried mounting the root partition and simply created a /var directory in it, unmounted it and restarted the install, which worked fine after that. ** Tags added: utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875343 Title: Stuck at "Saving installed packages..." when using a custom /var To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/875343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
