Public bug reported:

When, from the Live CD you have mounted partitions resulting from manual
operation prior to initiating the install (of Kubuntu) the installer
will ask whether to unmount, or to continue after you have fixed the
issue of mounted partitions.

However, after you've unmounted the partition(s) and click continue, the
installer will hang. Recently, today, it hung on "Discovering
filesystems" or something of the kind -- the first step in the
background installation.

This has been true for 14.10 as well, it is a long-standing problem.
After you have then closed the installer, it will not run again. It will
not start up again.

Killing /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity kde_ui will
solve the problem of the installer not reappearing.

I'm not attaching partman as I feel my system is personal and private.
Equal for syslog. It is easy to reproduce this.


The configuration uses LUKS and an LVM inside the LUKS partition, with a 
separate /boot on a primary partition (or currently, inside the extended 
partition. I don't think there is anything special about the system, that might 
just be me. But I have had it more often, because I always do manual 
partitioning with my own LUKS. I always run into this problem when I forget to 
unmount before starting the installation (but after fixing all the mount 
points).
