Re: dapper drake install


Sure did, I looked everywhere, I pressed the finish partitioning &

write to disk button, zip, so I had to press <back>

That's odd i did the same and it went further, try see if there are
any

messages in the consoles if you have not done that already,
otherwise i

am stumpted. Normally gives an error message if the partioning is

incorrect.



I have seen this too. I think it is due to something like no partition
selected

for / or / not marked to be formated. I am very sure I was able to get
past

just by selecting partitioning options, not going back to timezone or
the menu



FWIW, this problem exists in the final dapper release.

Here's the entirely repeatable spiel:

1. I am upgrading from a gentoo install, so I have 3 regualar partions
(ext3 & swap), and a bunch of LVM partitions.

2. I setup my regular partions first: hda1,2,3: /boot, swap, /.

3. Hit the setup LVM item.

4. I then get a message telling me the existing partition table must be
written to disk. Fine. So the installer formats my partitions and writes
the table.

5. LVM setup then goes fine.

6. I enter the mount points for my logical volumes. All good.

7. "Write partition table to disk". <enter>

8. Back at the partition screen. WTF?

9. Based on reading the above, I went back to "/" and told it not
format->done, then format->done.

10. "Write partition table to disk". <enter>

11. Timezone selection screen.

12. Yea!!



Definately a bug of some sort here. Not a killer with some googling and
ubuntu-foruming. But still a PITA that shouldn't be there. For a newbie,
this would be a bad thing.....but if you have LVM partitions, you're
likely not a newbie. :-)



and using kubuntu alternate CD btw.
