[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs
Strange, yesterday I tried to reproduce the bug again (with current daily image), and this time it neither happened with an Ext4 nor with a Btrfs partition (installation was successful and old @home subvolume was correctly mounted). Perhaps it had been implicitly fixed during the last week?

Yes, but adduser is called by user-setup, and it appears to be passing incorrect arguments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500757 Title: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1500757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs
That message does not come directly from user-setup, but rather from adduser. Perhaps there is something specific that happens only when you reuse btrfs partitions, such as adding some extra group? Are you ever able to reproduce this crash if you take all the same steps, but use ext partitions instead? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500757 Title: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1500757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like a bug in the user-setup script: Sep 29 08:29:44 ubuntu user-setup: Shadow passwords are now on.

[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs
The installed system is faulty due to the crash and does not boot (defect /@/initrd.img symlink). However, the @home subvolume was preserved correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500757 Title: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1500757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs
I did another installation attempt with the difference that I chose to format the Btrfs partition for the root filesystem (clearing it completely), and this time it went through without any errors/crash. So this made me wondering, is the use case to install Ubuntu over an existing Ubuntu installation on a Btrfs partition _without_ formating (and preserving @home) currently not supported? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500757 Title: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1500757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs
I could just reproduce the crash by the following steps: 0. Install Wily on a fresh formated Btrfs partition (this works successfully). 1. Try to install Wily again: 2. Select the partition from Step 0 as root fs, but do not format it. 3. Start installation. Ubiquity crashes at the stage when the account for the first user on the new system would be created. One interesting note: Ubiquity skips the screen where it asks for the name of the primary user/computer name/logon options. Maybe this is directly related to the crash? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500757 Title: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1500757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
