[Bug 1361951] Re: Utopic installation freezes during partition creation

[amjjawad]

When I tried to re-produce this bug, I had a previously installed Ubuntu
GNOME Utopic Unicorn RC and when I tried to do the manual installation,
I removed/deleted the old partitions and created new ones. Then,
installed and everything was just fine.

It seems this is a hard to re-produce bug and I was trying to find out
whether it is fixed or not so we won't mentioned that on Ubuntu GNOME
14.10 Release Notes but since it affects only one user as of this very
moment, I will keep it on the release notes and will not remove it. Only
time will tell whether it affects more users or not.

Thanks!

Title:
  Utopic installation freezes during partition creation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm testing an Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140826 i386 image and after
  selecting Something else and creating two partitions on a blank 80 GB
  (primary / about 77500mb and logical swap about 2500mb) shortly after
  the installation begins it freezes with the bottom of the window
  saying, "Creating ext4 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI2
  (0,0,0) (sda) ...........".

  I've repeated this twice just in case the first attempt was a fluke,
  and the first time I waited well over an hour. I'm filing this report
  with the installer seemingly still attempting to run. I'd gladly
  repeat the test choosing to kill the installation before filing if I
  knew how.

  I'm attaching an actual screenshot of what the screen displays while
  frozen.
