*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48410 *** Caroline is right, there seems to be some sort of problem. Nevertheless, the installer crashed because you tried to use /dev/hda5 as /home, but /dev/hda5 is an NTFS partition to which Ubuntu, for now at least, cannot write (we can read NTFS partitions though).
To workaround this you can : * Format /dev/hda5 as 'ext3' (which will of course erase e.verything on it) * Use a larger / partition, and don't mount home separately * Create a separate FAT partition for your /home (Linux and Windows can both write/read to it). Thanks for reporting this! ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 48410 crash during copy with "Read-only file system: '/target/home'" -- crash during the installation - OSError [Errno 30] read only file system : '/target/home' https://launchpad.net/bugs/64971 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
