[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs

[Jan Rathmann]

I could just reproduce the crash by the following steps:

0. Install Wily on a fresh formated Btrfs partition (this works successfully).
1. Try to install Wily again:
2. Select the partition from Step 0 as root fs, but do not format it.
3. Start installation. Ubiquity crashes at the stage when the account for the first user on the new system would be created.

One interesting note: Ubiquity skips the screen where it asks for the
name of the primary user/computer name/logon options. Maybe this is
directly related to the crash?

Title:
  Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I was making a test install of Wily when I got the message that
  Ubiquity had crashed. Because that happened during my absence, I'm not
  completely sure at which step of the installation the crash happened,
  the last thing the Ubiquity window showed was "User is being
  added...".

  I was installing on a Btrfs root filesystem which I choose not to
  format during installation. It was created during a previous
  installation of Wily by Ubiquity, so it has the usual layout of two
  subvolumes: @ and @home (and I wanted to test if @home is kept and
  mounted properly if I reinstall Ubuntu without formating the root
  filesystem). I'm not sure if that is related in any way to the crash.

  Kind regards,
  Jan
