Aleksey1977, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Hardy desktop reached EOL on May 12, 2011. Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
We were wondering if this is still an issue on a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: hardy intrepid needs-upstream-testing regression-release ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity Occurs when trying to install Ubuntu from a LiveCD, for both 8.04.1 and 8.10 Alpha3. Boot from LiveCD, initiate install, choose "use entire disk" option. The installation proceeds as expected, until system freezes (cursor not responding, no noticeable hard-disk or CD activity) at the "Copying Files" stage. Almost always occurs with progress bar at 22-23%, although once I got as far as 34%. However, the installation of 7.10 from a LiveCD completes with no problems. The CDs I used were all burned at the lowest speed, and afterwards checked for defects. I have tried booting with acpi=off option, with same results. A forum thread devoted to a similar problem can be seen at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770575 The computer I am using is Averatec 3255 laptop (I needed to modify Monitor section of xorg.conf slightly before I could start X, though) + + WORKAROUND: Ubuntu 8.10 livecd: + + 1) Boot with "break=top" option + 2) At BusyBox prompt, execute + + echo 'options libata dma=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options + + 3) Ctrl-D, and continue install as usual + + The problem was due to my CD drive, QSI SBW-242, causing occasional + system freezes, when used with UDMA/33. (Actually, forcing UDMA/25 or 16 + makes the freezes occur much more often). So, adding 'options libata + force=2.00:pio4' instead, also worked for me. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253321 Title: Freeze at "copying files" stage of install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
