When the Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 2 cd got to the same point in the install, it came back with:
The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted: /media/Backup\ VolumeVolume /media/ACOM\ External MacExternal\ MacMac Please close any applications using these mount points. Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?" I manually unmounted those partitions, and the install now proceeds. So while 8.04a2 release is handling exceptions better, I'm guessing the trigger of the problem is the spaces in the partition name/'Mounted on'/Label. Partial df output: /dev/sdc3 40965748 53192 40912556 1% /media/ACOM External Mac /dev/sdc2 15149292 4260780 10888512 29% /media/Backup Volume Thus the real problem to be fixed is proper handling of the spaces in the partition names by the code attempting to do the unmounting. -- partman unmount_busy hangs when invoked by Ubiquity at step "Detecting file systems..." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179307 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
