Title:
[hardy] generating locales stalls on 64mb
"me too"
New install of 10.04 mini.iso, screen blanks while loading packages
prior to HD partitioning. Point at which this occurs varies directly
with the amount of RAM available. The more RAM, the farther the progress
bar reaches.
I would very much like to install on 64MB or less systems. I have
I just tried with the Xubuntu 10.04 alternate CD on a system with 64 MB

fixed yet.

I've encountered a possibly related problem doing a distribution upgrade
from Xubuntu 7.10 to Xubuntu 8.04 on an old Sony PCG-F280 laptop with

window of dist-upgrade is:

Whether Debian has this problem is probably more to do with which
locales it generates by default than anything else.

I trust Debian does not have this problem?

worth to be noted is that tehere's another bottleneck: each time apt-get

it'll probably work without any locale, and fallback to using builtin C
locale. hopefully for system work this doesn't matter, but software may
fail to do things right at some point, which should anyway be farther
away than booting and re-running locale-gen.

Even if you choose language English for faster install, be sure to
select the appropriate keymap before install (press F3), so you can type

Maybe it is possible to do the hack before the step "Installing the base
system" reaches 75%:
* "/usr/bin/localedef" is part of package"belocs-locales-bin"
* this package is installed before the process reaches 40%
If you do the "chmod" when the step "Installing the base system" is between 40%
i've tested a dirty solution for 64 MiB systems:
* select the "command line install" in english: F4 at the welcome screen
--> it has less chances to hang during install
* do the install until it hangs at 75% because of generating locales
* switch to 4th VT with "Alt+F4" to check what it is doing
Same issue here.
I do a dry-run in VirtualBox for a 64 MB install of Xubuntu 8.04.
I am discouraged to do the real install on my low memory machine.
There's 2 steps hanging:
* 75% Generating locales
-24 min for step "localechooser: en_US.UTF-8"
* 1% Configuring language-pack-en-base
-
Comfirmed.
"75% Speichere Sprache..." takes about two hours.
A swap-partition is availible an according to free it is used.

Preseeding the language question shouldn't make a difference. Could you
attach /var/log/partman from the installer? The problem is likely that
there's no swap.

This is the list of processes. After that I killed localedef, it was launched

By the way, i partitioned using "guided partitioning" but there's no swap in
