2006-05-08 07:21:26 iGadget description This might be a duplicate of 40594, but since none of the reporters in that bug run Flight 7, here's my report anyway: When trying to install Flight 7 to the (already partitioned) harddrive using the live CD, the installer crashes when running the custom partitioner: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ? install(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 250, in run self.process_step() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 702, in process_step self.gparted_to_mountpoints() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 778, in gparted_to_mountpoints print >>self.gparted_subp.stdin, "apply" IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe System details: -AMD XP 1700+ (running @ 1100+) -MSI K7N420Pro mainboard (nForce chipset) -1024MB ram -hda: Maxtor 60GB PATA, previously partitioned like this: hda1: 250MB ext3 (boot) hda5: LVM with a root XFS partition (which had errors, which were corrected using the dapper live CD) and a swap partition. All partitioned using Breezy installer. Other hardware: -3Ware Escalade 7500 RAID controller (the drive mentioned above is not connected to this controller) -Intel Pro 1000 pci ethernet adapter If more info on the system is needed, I'll happily submit it. This might be a duplicate of 40594, but since none of the reporters in that bug run Flight 7, here's my report anyway: When trying to install Flight 7 to the (already partitioned) harddrive using the live CD, the installer gives a 'blank' screen when running the custom partitioner. As soon as I click 'next' at step 6/7, the installer crashes: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ? install(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 250, in run self.process_step() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 702, in process_step self.gparted_to_mountpoints() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 778, in gparted_to_mountpoints print >>self.gparted_subp.stdin, "apply" IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe System details: -AMD XP 1700+ (running @ 1100+) -MSI K7N420Pro mainboard (nForce chipset) -1024MB ram -hda: Maxtor 60GB PATA, previously partitioned like this: hda1: 250MB ext3 (boot) hda5: LVM with a root XFS partition (which had errors, which were corrected using the dapper live CD) and a swap partition.

Other hardware: -3Ware Escalade 7500 RAID controller (the drive mentioned above is not connected to this controller) -Intel Pro 1000 pci ethernet adapter If more info on the system is needed, I'll happily submit it. EDIT: I've just removed the existing partitions on /dev/hda manually and then tried re-running the installer. The result remains the same as described above.
