Hello Fritz,
This makes sense to me. You cannot find linux root partition from harddisk and
you are doing setup for advanced user. If those your steps will not work, then
you will make storm flood about wrong installer.
Please don't do it. If you want to help with testing, then use technical
description without impressions.
Have a nice weekend, summer, and upcomming years.
Peter.

Hello Fritz,
Yes, I had shown to you approx. the same steps as are done by automatic installation
process. But this is different was as you are describing as "bug in installer".
Could you please show picture of creation partition type Apple_Bootstrap with system
NewWorld bootblock? You can take a picture using your phone if you dont know how to
digitalize it. This small bootstrap partition type is required by yaboot and partition
type nor size nor system can be changed for that use.
And regarding kernel log, there will be better to show that log. Apport is
required part of base installation. I believe, it was not removed from
installation medium. Also, you can that log transfer using different disk (e.g.
small usb disc or any removable medium) to any computer instance with internet
access. Right?
Also, dont forgett to check downloaded installation medium for deffects and
check if you have enough RAM installed in your computer for graphical
installation.
Peter.
@Peter:
Funeral services are being scheduled for this install . . . sometime soon. After this
morning's boot into 15.04 going to black screen, I rebooted a short while ago, back into
single user and when screen went black I was able to open a TTY shell that I could see
and read. I was then able to "repair" the ethernet connection, and then ran
the apt-get dist-upgrade, which included a new kernel. That is the good news . . . .
On reboot I just let "Linux" be the boot param and we made it again to the Ubuntu MATE splash . . . and then into
a dmesg-like list; this time we got passed the "authenticate and authorize privileged users" . . . (which is where
it was crashing before") . . . and now we got down to "started runanacron jobs . . . printer . . . " and then
again with the "p link was shut down."
System freezes . . . and the TTY will now not open . . . .
So, these problems with crashing are continuing in the GUI . . . and, even with single
user, still seems like "display is found" . . . but then screen goes black . .
. and this last time a few minutes ago going to TTY did not work.
Perhaps I can boot a live desktop and then open GParted, which should show me
how the disk is partitioned . . . and I could take a picture or perhaps screen
shot of it. However, as mentioned many times now, Yaboot is working, so that
isn't an issue.
The issue on the installer appears to be the "double flagging" of two partitions with "/" in the
"manual" installer; whereas the "automatic" installer did install the system, which I was able to get to the
MATE splash, after which the system has crashed . . . so the system itself seems to be "very buggy" . . . and now, even
after update/upgrade . . . problems with crashing GUI and black screen in single user are still happening.
For triage purposes if there is something I can do to provide data to you I will put off
the funeral, but as of right now I can't get to a TTY, so I can't do "apport"
and I don't know the commands to send a copy of the Xorg.0.log . . . but even if I did it
would have to be from a live desktop image?? Would that work? I don't think that would
be the same as the installed system log, right?
Possibly if I reboot again it **might** let me get back into a TTY, but the
whole thing is so unreliable that without some advanced assistance on how to
repair it . . . it just is beyond my skill level to fix or use. If it doesn't
do basic stuff like log into GUI with internet connection or even reliable
provide a read-able single user interface . . . how is that practical??
