Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
My partition schema
--------------------------
* sda1 - 2GB - SWAP
* sda2 - 10GB - root partition (with Ubuntu 8.04.1 installed)
* sda3 - all the remaining space - /home
Installation
---------------
I start the Ubuntu installer, fill in all required data, tell the system that I
want to format my sda2 partition and mount it as the root (”/”) and to mount my
sda3 partition as /home (without formatting it). A few more clicks and the
system was installing, time to take a coffee.
Here comes a problem, I’m back from my coffee and I see no installer on
my screen, it’s crashed! So I’m launching it again, retype my info but I
can’t see my partitions anymore…
Rebooting…
Relaunching the installer, filling data and start the installation
process, it’s about to finish when it crashes again, I take a look here
and there in the logs and see that’s something about the migration
assistant (actually I have nothing to migrate, I’m using my old home
directory…).
Rebooting again…
I remember that’s possible to launch the installer disabling the migration
assistant thus I open a terminal and type:
sudo ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
and do it all again, this time everything goes fine and I can boot my wonderful
Intrepid from my disk.
