However, i found an easy workaround. In a terminal, check the device(s) associated with your external drive using df or mount. (at home, it was sdb1). Then, unmount it using sudo umount /dev/sdb1 The installer is still blocked. get the pid of 01unmount_busy. It should be the first in top then kill it. the installer will re-ask you about the partionning. This time, it will work. -- install to external hdd fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164481 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. --------------------------------- Sent from Yahoo! - a smarter inbox. -- install to external hdd fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164481 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
