I finally discovered where ubiquity failed. When I finished "Who are you?" These are the mount points

On /dev/sda8 is Ubuntu 10.10 installed. I found a workaround. When I manually selected partiton /dev/sda10 as root partition formatted as EXT4 and click on Forward and I wait for the "Ready when you are" dialog. Then I did the rest of the steps. Then again if I click by "Who are you?" on Forward ubiquity still mount other Linux partitions to the same target directory. But this time I did manually umounted /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda8 sudo umount /dev/sda8 sudo umount /dev/sda6 So only /dev/sda10 is mounted to the target directory. After that I was able to finish the installation with succes. ** Summary changed: - ubiquity tried to install old 2.6.35-22-generic-pae kernel + ubiquity tries to mount not selected Linux partitions to target directory -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689816 Title: ubiquity tries to mount not selected Linux partitions to target directory -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
