[Bug 292493] Re: usb startup disk failed to unmount /cdrom when change partition tables
update with resolution and some possibly useful information. resolution: Format & recreate usb start up disk. On boot my usb drive was assigned sdb (in fact looking at my dmesg above it was anyway..) upon reboot my df output looked 'normal' (/cdrom was mounted from /dev/sdb1) and the install progressed without issue. useful information: This usb disk was initially booted on the same system *without* the hard disk attached, in which case I would have expected the usb disk (/cdrom mount point) to be assigned sda. It seems that with the usb disk this information persists across reboots, at least partially anyway and in some cases can prevent installs from completing (this is my educated guess - I haven't tried to reproduce it a second time). -- usb startup disk failed to unmount /cdrom when change partition tables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same problem using UNetBootin to create the USB device. I thought that I could tell it not to edit the bootloader and then I would edit it later using a separate install of Ubuntu however the problem persisted. The problem appears to be with the installer it self. I opened up a terminal to try to manually force unmount the /cdrom mount point it failed even when done as root. It continued to insist that the partition was in use and could not be unmounted. -- usb startup disk failed to unmount /cdrom when change partition tables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I encountered the same problem as Riobard. I booted from a USB drive and tried to install, but /cdrom was mounted (same error message as above). I am trying to install to /dev/sdb (which is a new hard disk) but Ubuntu mounts it to /cdrom. I tried but was unable to sudo umount /cdrom before installing (I tried using lsof and fuser to see if there were open files). I ran ubiquity -d but the install did not succeed. The result is that I am unable to install ubuntu on this machine.
