[Bug 1310530] Re: 14.04 32bit ISO - installer hangs on partitioning

[Pete Kirkham]

Thanks Phillip, its a nice theory but doesn't work. The system is too
incredibly slow to do anything. OK it's a Celeron clocking at 2.93GHz with
1.5 Gbytes of memory. On 12.04 it works fine but the installation of 14.04
from CD is like watching paint dry. I have tried what you suggested but
refreshing the screen takes forever and produces fairly random results so I
think the principal problem is that running from the CD is too slow to be
able to do anything useful.

I'm also updating a faster system (i5, 64 bit) from 13.10 and that's taking
hours too so I feel there are some quite global issues with this LTS.

Best regards,
Pete

PS I certainly do not think the problem is solved but it's going to be
difficult to produce more evidence!

Title:
  14.04 32bit ISO - installer hangs on partitioning

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have tried to use the ISO on a USB and on a CD. 
  I want to use a disk in which I have already created 2 partitions 1 ext4 and 1 Linux Swap.
  Having selected the last option  on the page which offers to install the new OS alongside the existing ones as the 1st option, the installation goes to the next page where usually the different partitions should be displayed but nothing is displayed. The Ubuntu rotating wheel displays and the system continues to read something from the CD. This has been going on for 30 minutes so its not just slow. 
  The Quit button does display the "Do you want to quit now" message but clicking on Quit doesn't do anything.
