No, it was unclear which precise set of circumstances caused mke2fs to
not be happy. I tried a bunch of different alternatives from comments
here when I said I could not reproduce it, that's because I hadn't hit
the right set of circumstances: it's definitely not just randomly using
fdisk or parted
Reproduction is pretty simple: use fdisk or parted to create a partition
table in the partition, then mke2fs whinges that the partition table is
there. It needs the -F switch to not do that.

I was having the same issue with 15.10 install media but resolved it by
booting into the live session, opening a terminal, using fdisk to create
a new GPT table, making one giant partition, formatting it, then
proceeding with install. Install went off without a hitch.

It's odd that it seems so infrequent for others. It happens every time
for me. I specifically set up my partitions into / and /home so that I
wouldn't have to wipe /home every time, but this has resulted in me
never being able to install using the Something Else method.

I sas re-installing a 15.04 x64 ISO image earlier and I had the above freezing
problem with ubiquity.
I was reusing my existing partition structure, keeping the /home partition but
formatting the others.
I found that removing a /var partition and formatting / and /usr
partitions allowed the in
During Wily final iso testing last night I experienced my first ever
such freeze while reformatting a primary partition as shown in the
attached side-by-side screenshots. I included the gnome-clock at the top
so you can see it's an actual freeze, the first shot was probably 10 to
15 minutes into th
With this I guess we might have enough data to try some more things --
it may be that this is happening in a very specific case with extended
partitions, or some different partition table I haven't tried yet.
Marking Triaged/Medium.

This problem is still happening right now in the 15.10 installer in a
virtual machine. Exact same symptoms.

I changed the status back to New because this just occured performing a
Vivid install for upgrade testing (see attached screenshot compilation).
I'll try to add more info ASAP but I'd refer you to my comment #13 for
now regarding the ability to reproduce this bug.
I'd have to amend that though bec
