I got the same error when installing 13.04 beta1 (and all alphas before this).
I have a rather complex set of partitions. The installation hangs indefinitely at the "Preparing for installation" window. $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000b7d5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 63 81915434 40957686 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 81915435 163846934 40965750 83 Linux /dev/sda3 163846935 245762430 40957748 83 Linux /dev/sda4 245762431 488392064 121314817 5 Extended /dev/sda5 245762433 331774379 43005973+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 331774443 417786389 43005973+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 417786453 429497774 5855661 83 Linux /dev/sda8 429497838 437305364 3903763+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda9 437305428 488392064 25543318+ 83 Linux This command fixed this error and allowed me to continue the installation. $ sudo rm -rf /lib/partman/automatically_partition/15reuse/ /lib/partman/automatically_partition/25replace/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 Title: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
