I had this problem when installing 14.04 desktop amd64. I had configured LVM as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1782296 and had not marked any partitions apart from /boot for formatting (because I'd already formatted them with mkfs.ext4)
It did warn me that it would overwrite any system directories like /etc, /lib etc - which is no problem. But it hung at the "Saving installed packages..." step. I rebooted and told the installer to format all partitions, and then it was OK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875343 Title: Stuck at "Saving installed packages..." when using a custom /var To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/875343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
