[Bug 1500757] Re: Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

That message does not come directly from user-setup, but rather from
adduser. Perhaps there is something specific that happens only when you
reuse btrfs partitions, such as adding some extra group?

Are you ever able to reproduce this crash if you take all the same
steps, but use ext partitions instead?

Title:
  Ubiquity crashed during installation on Btrfs

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I was making a test install of Wily when I got the message that
  Ubiquity had crashed. Because that happened during my absence, I'm not
  completely sure at which step of the installation the crash happened,
  the last thing the Ubiquity window showed was "User is being
  added...".

  I was installing on a Btrfs root filesystem which I choose not to
  format during installation. It was created during a previous
  installation of Wily by Ubiquity, so it has the usual layout of two
  subvolumes: @ and @home (and I wanted to test if @home is kept and
  mounted properly if I reinstall Ubuntu without formating the root
  filesystem). I'm not sure if that is related in any way to the crash.

  Kind regards,
  Jan
