[Bug 743359] Re: Installer: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

[Jean-Francois Messier]

I was trying to install it on an HP-MINI-110 netbook. It had an existing
Ubuntu 10.10 installed on the first partitions. I installed 11.10 on an
existing partition that was used for 11.04 in the past. The install went
fine, until I had error message as it was trying to remove the temp
files. I was installing 11.10 from a USB key made with Unetbootin
(latest version) and the desktop-i386 ISO file. I wonder whether this
could be caused by the fact I am installing from a USB device ?

I had issues with 11.04 on this HP notebook where it could not boot from
the USB key because of some power management issue. Once ACPI was
disabled, I could boot fine.  Never had any issue with 10.10.
