I'm seeing a similar result with Tribe-2 when choosing to do a Manual Partition on the 30GB PATA IDE drive in a Sony Vaio SRX51 notebook.
Starting from an empty hard disk with no partition table, boot Gutsy 32-bit from LiveCD and choose to Install. When reaching the Partitioner choose the Manual/Advanced option then create: #1=512MB, ext3, beginning, /boot #2=8000MB,ext3,beginning,/ #3=1024MB,swap,beginning At this point, when the partitioner "scans the disk" the progress indicator will get to between 25% to 75% and then hang-up. The progress dialog or parent "Install" window won't repaint or respond to actions. If I use force-quit about 10 other processes related to ubiquity and partman need to be killed before the Installer will restart. It doesn't give the opportunity to create the /home mount using the remaining space as the final partition. Unfortunately there's no network (needs a WiFi driver that I custom- build after install) so I can't copy the log files, so I'll type up what looks pertinent. There are no clues in syslog aside from the reports that Ubiquity has got to the partitioning stage: Step_before - stepKeyboardConf switched to page stepPartAuto Step_after = stepPartAuto program parted_devices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO switched to page stepPartAuto switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced In /var/log/partman: parted_server: OUT: 1 32256-aaaaa xxxxx primary ext3 /dev/sda1 parted_server: OUT: 2 aaaaa-bbbbb xxxxx primary ext3 /dev/sda2 parted_server: OUT: 3 cccccc-ddddd xxxxx primary linux-swap /dev/sda3 parted_server: OUT: -1 eeeee-fffffff xxxxxx pro/log free /dev/sda-1 parted_server: Partitions printed parted_server: OUT: parted_server: Closing infifo and outfifo /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 1 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 2 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 3 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: -1 (entry details same as above) partman_server: main_loop: iteration 249 parted_server: Opening infifo -- while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
