Had started installation on a server with around 1 TB of data in partitions not desired to be formatted but mounted them during installation and in the first instance could not even detect what could be holding the installation process at 97%. Hence rebooted which obviously landed me a broken system. Reinstalled and yet again hit the same issue. Thereafter, thanks to James found this bug already reported.
Killed the updatedb.mlocate process to work around this issue and get the installation through. I suggest to leave updatedb.mlocate to the first boot via cron, if at all it must run automatically and definitely better information should be presented in the installer instead of just "Cleaning up" . It definitely left a bad taste in an otherwise smooth installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041881 Title: Reinstalling a large server (without formatting) appears to hang during 'Cleaning up' due to updatedb.mlocate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgsel/+bug/1041881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
