Hi all,
Total linux noob here trying and failing to install ubuntu 14.04. I would love to know if there is an installfest planned sometime soon so i can finally get the OS installed. if not i would be super grateful for any help.
i posted my issue on askubuntu.com but not got any helpful responses yet, here is the link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/626934/cannot-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-new-ss...
basically i keep getting the "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 (0,0,0)(sdd) failed" message when trying to install onto a brand new SSD. when i try to format and partition manually i get the "Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)" message.
If anyone can give me some pointers, i would really really appreciate it.
thanks!
Justin
