[Bug 770091] Re: Unsolicited attempt to import files and settings

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Depends which type of imports you refer to. There is "reuse" and
"migration-assistant". Reuse tries to "reinstall" on top of existing
installation without formatting it first. Migration-assistant tries to
copy bookmarks/user settings/files etc from previous installation.

In quantal, migration assistant has been removed.
If you do not want to reuse, make sure partitions are formatted.

If you still experience this problem please file a bug using `ubuntu-bug
ubiquity` which collects relevant logs (/var/log/syslog &
/var/log/installer/*)

Title:
  Unsolicited attempt to import files and settings

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried to install a clean 32-bit build of 11.04. I tried both natty-
  desktop-i386.iso from the daily build and
  ubuntu-11.04-beta2-dvd-i386.iso. However, even if I didn't check any
  of the existing Ubuntu installations in other partitions when being
  asked if I wanted to import stuff, the installer still made an import
  attempt. (The import attempt failed, though, with the note that it
  couldn't unmount the partition from which it was about to import...)

  This happened during a couple if installation attempts that failed
  also in another respect (see bug #770090). I can't tell whether the
  two issues are related or not. Reporting them as two separate bugs for
  now.
