[Bug 1373365] Re: Ubiquity got stuck at 'Identifying file system...'

6th test

I found the problem:

A program tested before ubiquity left cruft in /etc/mtab, which was not
seen by df, and not affecting terminal window commands (umount and
swapoff), but it was affecting ubiquity. This is a very special case.

Running various programs, and checking that /etc/mtab is clean (matching
the output of df), makes it possible to install into this same computer
(as in tests #1-4) with a USB 3 HDD, as well as installing into another
computer's internal HDD.

So we can give this bug very low priority.

Title:
  Ubiquity got stuck at 'Identifying file system...'

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a partition made and formatted to ext4 with gparted, so it is
  not a problem because of reformatting.

  I did not use OEM, so it should not be 'post-OEM', but maybe it is the
  same cause?

  -o-

  Isotesting: From the live session I tried 'something else' at the
  partitioning page, reused a shared swap partition, and used a
  partition made for this purpose, that was never used (only formatted).
  I had complaints, that the swap was on when it was not on. After re-
  trying, the installer could continue.

  The target drive is a USB HDD dedicated to testing. There are already
  two linux distros installed: Xubuntu and Mageia, but it should work
  anyway.

  I could enter language and user identification. The installation
  continued, but got stuck with a rotating round cursor at the text
  'Identifying file system...' (in Swedish).
