What partitioning option did you select? Could you please try to reproduce this in debug mode (ubiquity -d) and attach new logs?

Thanks!

bug 727690 has --debug turned on

I get this on i386 and amd64 desktop ISOs. Installing from USB and CD. alternate CDs are not affected.

However bambee has reported two successful amd64 desktop installs.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

I'm doing "use full disk" partition option

[Romain Perier (rperier)]

I also installed on i386 but using a virtual machine (virtualbox with "use full disk"). It works just fine here.
Can I provide additionnal informations ?

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

This only happens if you don't have a connection as far as I can see.

Cleaning up the status of this, after discussion with Riddell.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

It gets stuck for me both with and without internet connection on real hardware.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I can't reproduce it here with Kubuntu AMD64 and the Ubiquity based installer.
The logs doesn't contains the lines mentioned above.

Happens on DVD live install too

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

In comment #10 jibel is using a virtual machine

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I did an i386 install (alpha-3 candidates) on my Dell Mini 10 from usb-creator generated USB stick, with English, no network, and "use entire disk". Worked fine, and no "Media" in syslog.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Apparently python-apt has this "Media change" string, in AcquireProgress.media_change().

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

ln -s /cdrom /media/cdrom before running ubiquity fixes this, as discussed on IRC

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Jonathan confirms that this is also due to the changed /cdrom -> /media/cdrom mount point, duplicating.
