Oct 27 00:27:26 ubuntu python: IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device This is a 80Gb hard disk. Oct 27 00:08:52 ubuntu kernel: [17179572.724000] ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0693): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present Pretty funny :-) /dev/sda7 is just a bit more than 2Go, I think you have miss some space on that partition. Your partition table seems unusual to me (not an expert at all), because I see 4 Linux swap partitions, and I would expect to see just one. If you are ready to loose what's on the hard disk, maybe you could retry by letting the installer install on the full disk. Oct 27 00:12:17 ubuntu ubiquity[6769]: Ubiquity 1.2.5 I am surprised to see this version, that is supposed to have been released oct 20, 2006 which I would believe to be post 6.06.1. Normally, since 6.06.1, the installer should have warned about a too small partition. ** Summary changed: - Installer crashed + No space left although ubiquity version 1.2.5 was: Installer crashed -- No space left although ubiquity version 1.2.5 was: Installer crashed https://launchpad.net/bugs/68507 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
