Public bug reported: On a laptop that previously had Ubuntu 14.04 installed, ubiquity in 16.04 mounts the existing swap file and then throws an error message when it can't manipulate it:
The creation of swap space in partition #5 blah blah blah failed If I exit the installer and manually do a swapoff -a, it then works. I tried images from 20160321 and 20160307 and both fail. ** Affects: ubiquity (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/1560028 Title: Xenial install fails when a previous Ubuntu install exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1560028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
