Public bug reported: Binary package hint: base-installer
hello, sorry but i dont know if i had choose the correct package. I have ubuntu edgy Knot3 that i booted from the cd. and simply klicked on the install icon on the desktop. my partitions are as follow: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1945 15623181 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 1946 4984 24410767+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 4985 7416 19535040 83 Linux /dev/hda4 7417 9733 18611302+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 7417 8632 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 8633 9617 7911981 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda7 9618 9733 931738+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris note: "hda5 was only flagged as PartID83 but new not formatted ( before it was an NTFS part.) As the installer came to the part to select the partition it would like to ?resize hda5? and appears an error message. So i checked the option that i want to handle myself. and now it hangs. i have tried it several times. Only if i format /dev/hda5 (ext3) it never would to resize the part. and the installatin went through. sorry for my poor english. i hope this could help you regards L. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- installer crashes if partition is not formatted https://launchpad.net/bugs/62735 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
