So this disk is 4kB logical, not common. And stracing parted_server: 9452 open("/dev/sda", O_RDWR) = 6 ... 9452 write(2, "probe label: loop\n", 18) = 18 ... 9452 lseek(6, 2097152, SEEK_SET) = 2097152 9452 read(6, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\"..., 12288) = 12288 9452 open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK) = 7 9452 writev(7, [{"*** ", 4}, {"stack smashing detected", 23}, {" ***: ", 6}, {"<unknown>", 9}, {" terminated\n", 12}], 5) = 54 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355127 Title: Install issues with network install with Ubuntu 14.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1355127/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
