[Bug 1239515] Re: Saucy ubiquity crashes with kernel error

[Erick Brunzell]

I was even able to boot that pre-existing Ubuntu GNOME install on sda1
after recovering grub, so just to recap:

I had a simple dual boot of Ubuntu GNOME and Lubuntu on a physical 80GB
drive.

I then used an Ubuntu GNOME 20131013 i386 image and chose "Erase disk
and install Ubuntu GNOME".

What actually happened was that only sda6 was erased. The installer
attempted to reuse other partitions but puked!!!

Title:
  Saucy ubiquity crashes with kernel error

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is actually just a follow up on bug #1220165 so it should
  probably be marked as a duplicate, but this time I launched ubiquity
  from the terminal with the command "ubiquity -d" in hopes that it
  might provide more helpful info.

  I'm testing on bare metal:

  Intel Atom CPU  230 @ 1.60GHz
  Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
  Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
  Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
  2GB DDR2 RAM

  The existing drive structure is a quite simple dual-boot of Lubuntu
  Saucy i386 and Ubuntu GNOME Saucy i386 on a physical 80 GB drive:

  ubuntu-gnome at ubuntu-gnome:~$ sudo parted -l
  Model: ATA WDC WD800BB-63JK (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sda: 80.0GB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
  Partition Table: msdos

  Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
   1      1049kB  39.7GB  39.7GB  primary   ext4            boot
   2      39.7GB  80.0GB  40.3GB  extended
   6      39.7GB  77.5GB  37.8GB  logical   ext4
   5      77.5GB  80.0GB  2525MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

  
  Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system).  /dev/sr0
  has been opened read-only.
  Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!                

  I also decided this time to record the UUID's prior to trying the
  install.

  ubuntu-gnome at ubuntu-gnome:~$ sudo blkid -c /dev/null
  /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" 
  /dev/sr0: LABEL="Ubuntu-GNOME 13.10 i386" TYPE="iso9660" 
  /dev/sda1: UUID="9925ab08-025e-433b-be3e-b71703a99549" TYPE="ext4" 
  /dev/sda5: UUID="846a1c94-cadb-499d-a5f8-6317e7e0b918" TYPE="swap" 
  /dev/sda6: UUID="13cf3a15-45c3-4eef-bae7-6fa29a4a50b9" TYPE="ext4" 

  When offered installation options I chose "Erase disk and install
  Ubuntu GNOME" and shortly thereafter I was presented with that message
  about the kernel not being informed of modifications, and this is what
  the new drive/partition info is while ubiquity is still in a frozen
  state:

  ubuntu-gnome at ubuntu-gnome:~$ sudo parted -l
  Model: ATA WDC WD800BB-63JK (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sda: 80.0GB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

  /dev/sda6: UUID="13cf3a15-45c3-4eef-bae7-6fa29a4a50b9" TYPE="ext4" 

  It's hard for me to read that until I get on another computer that's
  tweaked for my limited vision so please give me time to review this.

  Sorry to be so dense, I hope I didn't make too many typos, and
  apologies if I'm only wasting electronic ink.
