I wrote another update for this last night, but I must have closed browser before hitting POST sorry.
I needed a Lubuntu 18.04 for support; so used that partition (sda5 on d755-8) to install to, and the Lubuntu 18.04.5 hung too (2+ hours). Looking, it looked identical (message wise in journalctl & dmesg) I rebooted, ran `badblocks` across sda1 & sda5 without issues. erased sda5 & created a new sda5 using `gparted` (no issues) Tried again to install Lubuntu 18.04.5 (amd64, last daily/RC) iso and it hung for ~two hours. I don't know how to query iso.qa.ubuntu.com to scan for all my d755-8 install alongside, replace partition, manual partitioning for more detail, but that box is used heaps for QA-testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892617 Title: xubuntu groovy - ubiquity appears stuck formatting partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1892617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
