I'm getting mad !! I tried a second time and now there is no more problem. The installer goes to the end of the process.
But what is this line in syslog "locked by another process"? Is it a problem? or just a warning? Here is the complete syslog (the problem appears only at the end when I quit the installer on step 6): Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): starting (version 2.14.0), pid 27785 user 'root' Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 3 Oct 17 20:13:40 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 4 Oct 17 20:13:55 ubuntu ubiquity[27802]: Ubiquity 1.1.25 Oct 17 20:13:56 ubuntu ubiquity[27802]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect Oct 17 20:13:59 ubuntu ubiquity[27802]: switched to page stepLanguage Oct 17 20:14:00 ubuntu ubiquity[27802]: ubiquity: Starting up '['log-output', '-t', 'ubiquity', '--pass-stdout', '/usr/lib/ubiquity/localechooser/localechooser']' for ubiquity.components.language.Language Oct 17 20:14:00 ubuntu ubiquity[27802]: ubiquity: Watching for question patterns ^languagechooser/language-name, ^countrychooser/shortlist$ Oct 17 20:14:00 ubuntu localechooser: info: Locale has been preseeded to fr_FR.UTF-8 Oct 17 20:14:00 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set languagechooser/language-name = 'French' Oct 17 20:14:01 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set countrychooser/shortlist-fr = 'FR' Oct 17 20:14:01 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale = 'fr_FR.UTF-8' Oct 17 20:14:10 ubuntu gconfd (root-27785): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
