[Bug 536673] Re: ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_hardware()
The problem with this issue is related to _partitioning_ This is a regression from ubuntu 9.10, the issues talked about below do not exist in 9.10 This issue only happens when you are trying to install into the _extended_ partition The issue is that the partition manager that is part of ubiquity is broken It may be related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-partitioning/+bug/568290 What happens is that Ubuntu 10.04 installer tries to create a logical partition in the extended partition, and this fails if the extended partition exists AND already has 1 or more logical partitions. It succeeds if the extended partition doesn't exist, OR the extended partition is empty. Ubiquity in 10.04 does something strange with making gaps between the extended partition and the 3 previous primary partitions. It also trys to create gaps between logical partitions. Basically, partitioning in ubiquity of 10.04 is BROKEN, and that leads to the migration assistant issues. I have only managed to make it 10.04 install so far because I was telling ubiquity to use/re-format an existing partition. When you choose to use ubiquity to create partitions at install and there already are 4 paritions, eg 3 primary + extended, install fails. The error message is: "ERROR!!! : Unable to satisfy all constraints on partition [OK]" "ERROR!!! : Can't have overlapping partitions [OK]" So, partitioning in the install process of Ubuntu 10.04 is really broken. Incidentally, migration assistant works IF and ONLY IF you allow ubiquity to create your partitions. Basically, this issue exists for people with existing operating systems. So this issue with ubiquity has potential to trash someones system if they already have two operating systems, me for example with windows and a previous ubuntu with a swap file. I would consider this issue to be significant, and suspect that if this issue of partition manager is released with ubiqity, then ubuntu 10.04 will quickly loose traction as peoples computers are left unbootable, and it is certainly not a viable LTS, as people will be waiting for 10.10 which does install reliably. I suggest that if it is decided to release this, that you need to go back to the partition manager that came with 9.10 What's more, the ubiquity installer creates a messy partition table.

[Bug 536673] Re: ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_hardware()
I have tried 20100426.2 and migration assistant either works, or doesn't crash - this is good. I've tried installing 6 times now, and only once did migration assistant not work, at which time it said "no information available for import" but it _did not crash_, the install was still successful. The other times it detected my Windows 7 install and wanted to import, but I did not allow it to import. As a side note, it would install successfully under the following conditions: 1) re-using/re-formatting existing partitions 2) starting from scratch partition wise 3) adding partitions to an existing extended partition that had free space where as previous scenario 1) would crash scenario 2) would work scenario 3) would throw up a partitioning error For what it's worth, I do not get the errors/issues of post #52 above no matter how hard I try, and can't reproduce them.

I have the same Apple Wireless Bluetooth mouse, it pairs okay, but does not control the mouse after a pair/bond/trust. It appeared to get broken when trying to fix a wheel mouse issue where horizontal scrolling was inverted, see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/291408 According to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31 the commit for this was done on Wed Jun 10 10:25:56 2009 +0200 the problem is that they somehow seem to have removed all reference to the Apple Mighty mouse Wireless now.

I have no idea when/if this propagates its way to the generic or ubuntu kernel, and indeed there is no mention of this in the changelog here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31 So maybe a patch hasn't been applied as bugzilla 13935 suggests?
