Public bug reported: Hardy Heron release candidate installer partitioning broken.
may be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/191577 Running the installer permanently hangs while trying to load the partitioning step of install. However, the system>admin>Partition Editor item works correctly. It is only the installer's partitioning that has a problem. syslog output: [code] Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: LANGNAME=English Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: line=English;0;en;US;en_US.UTF-8;UTF-8;;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8) Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/language = 'en' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 'en_US.UTF-8' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/fallbacklocale = 'en_US.UTF-8' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/country = 'US' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/consoledisplay = 'kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debconf/language = 'en' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/country = 'US' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 'en_US.UTF-8' Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: debconffilter_done: Language (current: Language) Apr 22 03:07:32 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: Step_before = stepLanguage Apr 22 03:07:33 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: switched to page stepLocation Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: Cannot unlink input FIFO: No such file or directory Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: Cannot unlink output FIFO: No such file or directory Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: Cannot unlink stop FIFO: No such file or directory Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free/choices: 204: Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: cannot create /var/lib/partman/stopfifo: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: Apr 22 03:07:38 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto: 134: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Dire ctory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:39 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu last message repeated 38 times Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Locale has been preseeded to en_US.UTF-8 Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu last message repeated 2 times Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set languagechooser/language-name-fb = 'English' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set countrychooser/shortlist-en = 'US' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 'en_US.UTF-8' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debconf/language = '' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set countrychooser/country-name = 'United States' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/country = 'US' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 'en_US.UTF-8' Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: debconffilter_done: Timezone (current: Timezone) Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: Step_before = stepLocation Apr 22 03:07:40 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:41 ubuntu last message repeated 14 times Apr 22 03:07:41 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: log-output -t ubiquity setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us Apr 22 03:07:41 ubuntu ubiquity[3059]: switched to page stepKeyboardConf Apr 22 03:07:41 ubuntu ubiquity: /lib/partman/display.d/80manual_partitioning: 9: cannot create /var/lib/partman/snoop: Directory nonexistent Apr 22 03:07:44 ubuntu last message repeated 62 times Apr 22 03:07:44 ubuntu ubiquity: Your console font configuration will be updated the next time your system Apr 22 03:07:44 ubuntu ubiquity: boots.
