Public bug reported: You boot from cd in live mode and mount a filesystem so you can backup some files. You then forget to unmount the filesystem and start the graphical installer. The installation stops, saying «Error: cannot write filesystem» or something like that. It would be nice if the installer stated the reason why it's unable to create it. «Cannot write filesystem, because it is in use».
** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Graphical installer doesn't explain why it is unable to write filesystem https://launchpad.net/bugs/54146 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
