[Bug 1892617] [NEW] xubuntu groovy - ubiquity appears stuck formatting partition

[Chris Guiver]

Public bug reported:

Watched kettle never boils?

QA-test install on
dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

I'm attempting to replace a QA-test install of 18.04.5 with a groovy
install, I used manual partitioning to select sda5 (an install alongside
in the bionic.5 cycle), and told it to mount as /, use ext4 and format.

It's been over two hours now and it's still not progressed. It feels
like it's stuck

busy are systemd-udevd, udisksd, & parted-server..
