Just tried a new experiment: I attached the new qcow2 image to a different virtual machine, used gnome-disks to create a MSDOS partition table, one large ext4 partition and a small swap area, then detached the image from that VM and used it for the install of the new ubuntu 19.10 virtual machine. I selected custom disk configuration and just told it to install on the existing ext4 partition, mounting it as /. It appeared to install correctly (with one mysterious error about not being able to restore previously installed apps).
It is however, now taking forever to boot from the virtual disk. I just get animated dots under the word "ubuntu". If I hit ESC it appears to have advanced one or two steps each time, but it is almost like it will only advance the boot if I keep hitting ESC over and over. Or perhaps it is in a loop desperately trying to start GDM over and over on a virtual display which probably doesn't support wayland. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851383 Title: disk format hang during install of 19.10 in KVM virtual machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1851383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
