[Bug 1065502] Re: Ubiquity failed to proceed to partman, fails at replace recipe now...

[Steve Langasek]

11:38 < xnox> slangasek: the root cause is unclean unmounting of the /target resulting with "journal replay required" on first mount.
11:39 < xnox> slangasek: which is cleared if you at least boot your system once, but not fine if you don't.
11:39 < slangasek> xnox: ah; so this is only a problem for people who are serial installers?
11:39 < xnox> yes.
11:40 < xnox> or force power-cycle shutdowners.
11:40 < slangasek> xnox: then that shouldn't justify a respin on its own if that's the worst of the symptoms.  Unclean unmounting is obviously not good though, so please chase it up

So this doesn't appear to be a stop-ship bug.  We can take the fix if we
need a ubiquity upload for something else, but as long as the journal is
replaying cleanly when users are doing a normal install, this seems to
be a bug that's primarily relevant to testers and is therefore release-
notable.

Title:
  Ubiquity failed to proceed to partman, fails at replace recipe now...

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Quantal Desktop 20121011 and later running on VBox

  TEST CASE
  1. Boot from ISO
  2. In ubiquity-dm press 'Install Ubuntu'
  3. In step Prepare press 'Continue'

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  Installation hangs.

  It occurs only on this VM, so it could be due to the existing
  partition.
