2020-02-06 01:20:44 Chris Guiver description hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt) ((it didn't let me select drive which I hoped to do, but it's installing install has hung up & is stuck -- I can use text terminal (ctrl+alt+f4) so exploring.. on display is "Removed libfcitx-qt5-1 I386)" is last message on GUI & it just sits there.. slideshow doesn't change anymore; complete-% bar is maybe 85% complete. using `top` nothing appears running.. I do see (journalctl) "log-output -t ubiquity umount /target/cdrom/" which would confirm possibly it's late in install, followed by "ubuntu-mate finihsh-install[4884]: Disabling CDROM entries in sources.list" & some other stuff.. It sat there (no change in installer/gui) for an hour before filing this bug in text terminal Expectation: It would have completed, or given useful error message telling me what was wrong. Note: I hoped it would install to SDA only; I've tried to disable SDB & SDC in bios, it looked like it has attempted install on SDC (which is a good drive I believe; SDA only was tested via badblocks for this install 18.04.4 install tests) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: ubiquity 18.04.14.14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-28.30~18.04.1-generic 5.3.13 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-28-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.394.3 Date: Thu Feb 6 11:39:28 2020 InstallCmdLine: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-mate.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd quiet splash --- LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu-MATE 18.04.4 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release i386 (20200203.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=C.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt) ((it didn't let me select drive which I hoped to do, but it's installing install has hung up & is stuck -- I can use text terminal (ctrl+alt+f4) so exploring.. on display is "Removed libfcitx-qt5-1 I386)" is last message on GUI & it just sits there.. slideshow doesn't change anymore; complete-% bar is maybe 85% complete. using `top` nothing appears running..

Note: I hoped it would install to SDA only; I've tried to disable SDB & SDC in bios (suspect it doesn't allow it). I Sysrq-REISUB'd box, booted to live (um-18.04.4) & explored; it all looked okay. So rebooted again. Grub offered me loads of options, and top was a 18.04 (5.3 kernel) so I chose that. My new Ubuntu-MATE 18.04.4 install was there & perfectly valid it appears. The issue appears to be installer became stuck. I used Sysrq-REISUB which flushes buffers, but would my install be good if I'd turned power off as I suspect a lot of users would have done after long wait?
