Public bug reported:
Have no idea if this is a bug or not. Before running true ubiquity, I ran
os-prober and got this:
(short form) sda1: win 7(loader) windows:chain
sda2: win 7(loader) windows 1: chain
sdd5: ubuntu 13.04(13.04) ubuntu: linux
then ran WINOSDATA=true os-prober and got this:
sda2: win 7(loader) windows 1: chain
sdd5--same as above
13.04 is actually installed on my external drive but when I attempt to
boot to ubuntu I get what appears to be a dos prompt with some wording
about grubfordos. When I installed 13.04 to the external disc there was
no partition(s) seen(only sda) at the point where I set up my partitions
on the external hdd(I used the "something else" option).
When running true ubiquity first error was "unable to install in sda" I then
chose sdd, then sdd1--neither worked. i then chose "continue without a
bootloader" and THAT caused the installer to crash.
My most recent "paste info" BEFORE I tried true ubiquity was
//paste.ubuntu.com/5974385.
thanks,
Pat Ricks
