Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gparted
Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, but installer fails every time. On a related note, I also tried installing Debian 6 and its installer also gets stuck in Scanning disks... every time. So, I tried to run gparted manually off the livecd but it crashed too. I think installer uses gparted too, but I'm only guessing here. Hardware isn't anything too exotic, some basic Asus motherboard, AMD Phenom2 X6, Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB hd. Here's the console output off from the livecd: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo gparted ====================== libparted : 2.3 ====================== Backtrace has 15 calls on stack: 15: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x31) [0x7f03d150f5c1] 14: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x392f6) [0x7f03d153a2f6] 13: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x39a73) [0x7f03d153aa73] 12: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x3a72d) [0x7f03d153b72d] 11: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x1cb) [0x7f03d1515d3b] 10: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x3bc74) [0x7f03d153cc74] 9: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x3be65) [0x7f03d153ce65] 8: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x75) [0x7f03d1516815] 7: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x44a884] 6: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x45a721] 5: /usr/sbin/gpartedbin() [0x477ec7] 4: /usr/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1(+0x383f2) [0x7f03cff943f2] 3: /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x697e4) [0x7f03cf3dd7e4] 2: /lib/libpthread.so.0(+0x7971) [0x7f03ce9bf971] 1: /lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d) [0x7f03ce71b92d] Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ What to do :x ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717795 Title: Installation fails, gparted crashes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
