[Bug 1870301] Re: Ubiquity crashes just before completion. Installation does work, however.

[David Coe]

Good morning, Jean-Baptiste!

I've just tried (re)installing the Kubuntu Focal beta on my two Asus 
machines with spare SSD partitions (an old M5A99FX Pro R2.0 and a more 
recent Prime B350-Plus). The latter is the one I had problems with 
Ubiquity crashing.

This time, both installations finished without issues and I'm ploughing 
through configuration of the applications, servers and file-store. So 
far, so good. It's a really nice distribution - hats off to you guys and 
the Plasma folk.

The only difference I can think of is that I did not reformat the 
original target drive (it was pre-formatted ext4 but empty). This time 
around I ticked both format boxes! I've have kept the log files from 
yesterday (there is no /var/log/installer) and will keep looking for 
what went wrong.

Best regards and many thanks.

Title:
  Ubiquity crashes just before completion. Installation does work,
  however.

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubiquity diagnostics (from beta Live ISO) say something like "packages
  may not be correctly installed and may need reinstalling". Post-
  installation reboot (as normal) gives a working system but
  installation log files (of course) are gone.

  Sorry not to be more specific. May try a repeat installation in a few
  days time.
