Ubiquity hangs at 15%

[JLR]

I inserted the cd and loaded well. The internet worked without issues. I clicked on install.
(this pc had :
/dev/sda1= blank 10 gb ext3 partitition for /
/dev/sda/5= swap (deactivated because the installer (i think) tries to format the swap the installer is using.
/dev/sda4= 20 Gb Data ext3 partition.

Next-next... and i clicked on install. The bar went to 15%(Detecting file systems) and i couldnt move the mouse.
I waited THREE HOURS!! and then, the Installing... windows appeared. Another hour and gutsy was installed. No more problemes.

I executed ubiquity with sudo ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
Maybe this is related to an absence of the /dev/sda1 NTFS windows partiton.

artir,

Are you saying that the installer did not hang when using --no-migration-assistant? Can you please run the installer again and attach /var/log/syslog, following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs

Thanks!

No. Before that i used the installer as usually; clicking on the desktop icon.
Sorry but this pc(256mb ram, pentium 4 and 40 gb HD) dont have spare disk to install it again. At this time, gutsy is running perfectly. I attach my syslog, not the livecd one for that reason, i hope that helps.

This was happening to someone in the Mythbuntu forums too. It ended up being related to too little RAM. Adding additional RAM made this part finish up.

Thats the probable reason. So i will mark the bug as solved
