Public bug reported:
pre-reqs:
re-installation of ubuntu onto an existing (eg: Oneiric) Ubuntu system
disk is partitioned as follows.
/dev/sda1 -> /boot ; ext4
/dev/sda2 -> swap
/dev/sda3 -> / ; ext4
/dev/sda4 -> /home ; ext4
we will reformat all but /home, which for the sake of consistency should
have some stuff in it.
reproduce:
* boot off live disk
* start installer
* english
* don't select updates and 3rd party software
* 'something else' partitioning option
--- if the three options, see screenshot "2012-04-21 13:01:56.png", are not
present, the bug does not reproduce.
* set up the partitions for use as above; format everything apart from /home
--- see "2012-04-21 13:02:45.png"
* install now.
* ubiquity GUI moves on to ask about location/timezone
* it does time servers stuff, formats partitions, and then hangs at 'removing
conflicting operating system files'.
--- see "2012-04-21 13:03:52.png"
--- Log output below copied from GUI shows it failed to unmount /dev/sda4
* it doesn't seem to time out or move on in any reasonable timeframe
