Trouble when installing Ubuntu, not sure where I went wrong
-Made a 400 GB partition of free space
-Installed most recent version of Ubuntu
-Using Rufus I booted from a USB
-Normal installation -> Something else
-8000 MB Primary, Beginning of this space, Use as: swap area
-92000 MB Primary, Beginning of this space, use as: Ext4 Journaling file system, Mount point: /home
-18000 MB Primary Beginning of this space, use as: Ext4 Journaling file system, Mount point: /
-I then get this pop up which I assume is an indication of my problem:
The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted:
/cdrom
Please close any applications using these mount points.
Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?
-The installation then begins and gets stuck on "Detecting file systems..." and reads this on the bottom of the installer
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:17: Warning: Source ID 12218 was not found when attempting to remove it
GLib.source_remove(self.timeout_id)
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:133: Warning: Source ID 12450 was not found when attempting to remove it
GLib.source_remove(self.rows_changed_id)
I can copy and paste more from the installer or give any more information if it would be helpful.

Is your other OS Windows? Is your MachineUEFIinstead ofBIOS? Are you planning to installGRUB, if so are you planning to install it inMBRor/root? Try mounting your filesystem using alive system, format the partition on which you're trying to installubuntuand re-try.

Is your other OS Windows? Is your Machine
UEFI instead of BIOS? Are you planning to install GRUB, if so are you planning to install it in MBR or /root? Try mounting your filesystem using a live system, format the partition on which you're trying to install ubuntu and re-try.– RussellB
