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

[Erick Brunzell]

I'm curious where to add those two additional lines in
/etc/rsyslog.conf??? This is what it looks like out_of_box:

#  /etc/rsyslog.conf	Configuration file for rsyslog.
#
#			For more information see
#			/usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html
#
#  Default logging rules can be found in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

# Set the default permissions for all log files.
#
$FileOwner syslog
$FileGroup adm
$FileCreateMode 0640

$Umask 0022
$PrivDropToUser syslog
$PrivDropToGroup syslog

#
# Where to place spool and state files
#
$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog

#
# Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/
#
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf

I'm thinking just at the very end add:

# Added to collect additional debug info
$SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0
$SystemLogRateLimitBurst 0

Does that make sense?

Also I studied man ps a bit and after a bit of experimentation I'd think
ps -aux should suffice to show all processes, does that seem right?

Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Utopic installation freezes during partition creation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
