Now I think it was a glitch due to flaky cooperation with a USB 3 hub, that I used at the first testing instance. That hub is rather new (bought this year) and has worked before except with one particular pendrive (which was not used in any of these tests). It has worked with many linux operating systems, also for booting. But it works only sometimes with Lubuntu 14.10 (otherwise boots to a text screen with some error output), and I suspect it was involved in the failure to continue from the window, which complained that swap could not be created in the live drive.
Tiny Core, ToriOS, Mageia work, xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso do not work (but worked until some week ago) ... so I think the USB 3 hub is failing, or at least, it has changed somehow and lost the ability to cooperate with some operating systems and or pendrives during booting. The modern Ubuntu based distros, versions, flavours work when booted directly from the USB port in the computer (but not via the hub and the same USB port). -o- So I don't think there was any quick fix. 'Install alongside' worked and works like this: When it cannot install into the unallocated space in the live drive, it returns to the partitioning page, and at the next attempt, it will let the user share the space in the other drive, and install Lubuntu 14.10 alongside the previous operating system(s). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382991 Title: ubiquity install alongside points to wrong device letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1382991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
