Here is what I did (obviously, it used to work): - Boot on the latest daily-live (via live-usb) - - Plug the external hard drive + - Plug the external hard drive (with a corrupted partition, ie marked as "unknown" in gparted) - Launch Ubiquity -> it hangs when clicking "forward" on the first page (the one with "for best results, please ensure...") Then, when I quit ubiquity and restart it after unplugging the external hard drive, I can continue the installation process (so the problem really comes from the detection of the external HDD). + + When I formated the corrupted partition, it worked. + So, it seems that Ubiquity's disk scanning hangs when it encounters a corrupted partition ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: ubiquity 2.5.21 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-5-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 1 18:47:34 2011 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20110301.1) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
