Thanks Phillip, its a nice theory but doesn't work. The system is too incredibly slow to do anything. OK it's a Celeron clocking at 2.93GHz with 1.5 Gbytes of memory. On 12.04 it works fine but the installation of 14.04 from CD is like watching paint dry. I have tried what you suggested but refreshing the screen takes forever and produces fairly random results so I think the principal problem is that running from the CD is too slow to be able to do anything useful.
I'm also updating a faster system (i5, 64 bit) from 13.10 and that's taking hours too so I feel there are some quite global issues with this LTS. Best regards, Pete PS I certainly do not think the problem is solved but it's going to be difficult to produce more evidence! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310530 Title: 14.04 32bit ISO - installer hangs on partitioning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1310530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
