[Bug 899082] Re: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation
Normally adduser would handle this fine. Is it possible that /home/coerdtr is a symbolic link, e.g. to an encrypted filesystem somewhere? That would be an edge case here, I think. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Summary changed: - Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation + Couldn't create home directory: File exists -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899082 Title: Couldn't create home directory: File exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/899082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 899082] Re: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation
Wow, I thought this had gone down the drain long time ago, thanks for coming back to it. I don't recall exactly what was the case by then, but I usually use a symbolic link so all the OSs installed on my machine use the same directory on a separate file system. I solved the case by myself (and I guess/hope I mentioned it in the bug, not sure...) by renaming the directory/link; the installation went through then. Still my biggest concern was and is the state of the installation after the crash - usable or not. This was not clear when the error occurred, and the error messages did not help. Proposal would be to make that snippet of the inst process a bit more stable. Thanks again Rüdiger On 02/16/2012 12:01 PM, Colin Watson wrote: Normally adduser would handle this fine.

Installer fails late in the install process. This is a show stopper. I cannot install 12.04, so am reverting back to 11.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899082 Title: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/899082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 899082] Re: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation
OK, found it out myself: looks like the installer crashed when it found the user's home directory existing as I installed on an existing partition and which I didn't ask to format. The question remains why it crashes instead of exiting gracefully and continuing to finish the install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899082 Title: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/899082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
