[Bug 784416] Re: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash
My apologies to any programmers who were working on this issue for me. I couldn't take using my Dad's computer any longer, so I looked up how to repair the MBR so I could boot Windows and formatted my Linux partitions. I'll probably try a different distribution of Linux in the future, but in the meantime, it's time for me to get reacquainted with Bill Gates. :-P - Brennan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784416 Title: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/784416/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the information of the developers, I attempted to install with the Encrypt Home folder both enabled and disabled, with no difference in outcome between the two. - Brennan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784416 Title: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 784416] Re: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash
Hello, Support Team, I'm curious to as if there's anything I should be trying on my end to resolve this situation. I appreciate that nothing has really changed, and that you are all busy processing thousands of bug reports, but as you might imagine, doing my regular computing off of a Live CD isn't ideal, nor is using my Dad's computer. It's not that I mind the wait, because I know you guys are busy and are working on it, but I feel like there's something that I should be trying that I'm not aware of; I'm not exactly what one would call an experienced Ubuntu user, but I'm not totally hopeless with this stuff when given instructions.

[Bug 784416] [NEW] Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity Hello, I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 on my system (alongside Windows Vista Home Premium) this evening when the installer returned the following error message: We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman: As requested in the error, I am submitting this bug report. I have attached the syslog file requested, but I seem only to be able to attach the one file. I shall see if there is another way to submit the partman file before I turn in for the evening, as your guidelines are quite clear that these files are only useful in my current session. I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 to repair a problem I had upgrading from 10.10. The upgrade seemed to proceed normally, but upon restart, the GRUB bootloader failed, returning a grub rescue prompt. I was unable to boot into either Ubuntu or Windows, so I consulted a friend, and he recommended that I try installing again. I told the installer to erase the current 11.04 partition and install fresh, and about twenty minutes into the install, that error came up. I would really appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm currently running 11.04 off of an Ubuntu Live CD, which, as I'm sure you can appreciate, is a less-than-ideal solution. I'm really quite frustrated at this point because I assumed the upgrade to 11.04 wouldn't cause any problems. Also, this is the second time I've had to type all of this out, as after I clicked Submit Bug Report the first time, Firefox lost connection to the server, or something like that. So, yeah, I'm ripping my hair out at this point; I would be very appreciative of any help you can provide.

[Bug 784416] Re: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash
Attempted to install again this morning. Had the same result. I noticed that the error dialogue appeared in front of the installer when it was in the checking for packages to remove phase. Figured it might be relevant. I've attached the new syslog and partman files, as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784416 Title: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
