I have exactly the same problem on Kubuntu 15.10.

Installer stopped, when format the root-partition.
Installer run "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdaX". When i run this command manually, it ask 
my to press 'j' ("Ja", German for yes).
I send this Key to the process. After that Installer continue.



kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ ps -Alf
