[Bug 1890872] Re: lubuntu install (bionic daily) halts

Mon Aug 10 02:57:35 UTC 2020

I just had a repeat of this issue, 
- identical box
- no 'OK' box, the window is just sitting there
- title isn't even visible in window & install questions haven't started...
- no crash files in /var/crash

I'm suspicious this issue isn't with ubiquity itself (assuming today is the same issue again), but the box itself.
In `dmesg` I see the following

Title:
  lubuntu install (bionic daily) halts

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lubuntu 18.04 bionic daily QA-test install on

  hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt)
  sda only enabled in bios, contains a entire.disk qa-test install

  Install continued till I got to "Where are you?" and map screen (it's
  rightly showing Melbourne, AU" but an error message appeared on screen

  "Failed to create a file system.
  The ext4 file system created in partition #5 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed
  OK"

  I have hit OK (and ENTER) many times but it doesn't resume
  installation.

  SDB is the thumb-drive? it looks like to me.

  ** Not the first time this happened

  This has happened before, but I only noted in comments on
  iso.qa.ubuntu.com (occurred last time I did this install). Last time I
  didn't file as I was worried SDB meant my hdd (sdb) which I know has
  badblocks; SDB is the thumb-drive though (my 2nd & 3rd HDDs are
  disabled in BIOS)

  It's also not moving past the error this time. I hit OK and nothing
  changes (either it repeats message instantly, or more likely it's not
  responding other than visual click.

  Install looks stuck ... I switched to terminal & exploration has been
  there (ubuntu-bug filed from term).  Ctrl+Alt+T won't work so
  everything has been via text terminal, and I can't open firefox etc
  (this written on my primary box)
