** Description changed: - The 12.04 installer gets to the "Removing conflicting operating system - files" step, and then just sits there forever without doing anything - else. The installer still responses to the input fields and the side - 'change banner' buttons, but nothing else works. + When installing 12.04 on a hard drive with two partitions (/ & /home) + formatting only the / partition results in the installer hanging on + "Removing conflicting operating system files" after it has wiped away + the / partition. This leaves an unusable system. - Previous versions worked fine, so it must be a very recent regression... + When I install Ubuntu, I format the /(root) partition, but leave the + /home unformatted and mount it. This means I can keep all my files and + preferences while having a clean Ubuntu install. + + My home directory is encrypted, so my theory is that the installer is + unable to get into my home dir and hangs. Since this step happens before + the login details are provided. + + This is a pretty serious regression IMHO, since it breaks the current + install and prevents the new install from completing. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: ubiquity 2.9.15 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-12.20-generic 3.2.2 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.302 Date: Wed Feb 1 04:31:12 2012 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120131.3) ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
