@Peter, for help with installing, please go and try the interactive chat at irc.freenode.net
see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/IRC also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation ------------------- @Phillip sorry for the delay, I ran out of time, will try to get it done tonight. quote: And did you have the permissions on that volume set wrong before installing Ubuntu? define ~wrong~ ?? yes, I did take an existing partition that was being used for other things, it might have had rw set for the top level of that partition. But after I hand it over to the installer it should not make any difference what was previously on it or what the previous permissions were, the installer owns the partition and needs to "do the right thing". But yes, I suspect the problem here is that when the installer skips formatting the partition it is also skipping setting the permissions on the partition. whether or not the installer changed the permissions itself or if they were pre-existing is an interesting question, but ultimatly should not affect the outcome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290393 Title: WARN: / is world writable!
