[Bug 80683] Re: PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60
I'm closing this report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, this release is not supported anymore and hopefully you've solved it by yourself. Thank you again for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80683 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance. I'm very sorry but I don't think I can obtain those logs anymore at this point. If I would have an extra machine to play with, I'd try to do it again but I am unable to do that at the moment. I can inform you that the problem has to do with dual boot system I had windows preinstalled, and tried to setup a dual boot system and that caused the ailure as described. I then succeeded in installation by explicitly specifying sda1 for grub. I failed that before because I used the parenthesis, (sda1) which were also used by default, as in (hd0) .I now believe these indicate that it is the default rather than having any other meaning. Anyway, installing to grub sda1 (the windows partition with MBR) succeeded, but I was then unable to boot. I then decided that my life would be much simpler without windows anyway, so I then had Ubuntu erase the entire disk. That worked marvelously and i am now a very happy ubuntu user. I hope the extra info is helpful. Kind regards, Roland Bouman ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60 https://launchpad.net/bugs/80683 -- Roland Bouman -- PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60 https://launchpad.net/bugs/80683 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 80683] Re: PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60
Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The partion manager only shows sdan partitions, but the next screen stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA drives? I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to install GRUB Cheers!

Hi! same problem, but I looked a bit more and was now able to copy the trace (right-click, copy) Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/ubiquity, line 166, in ? main() File /usr/bin/ubiquity, line 161, in main install(sys.argv[1]) File /usr/bin/ubiquity, line 57, in install ret = wizard.run() File /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py, line 305, in run self.process_step() File /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py, line 856, in process_step self.progress_loop() File /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py, line 628, in progress_loop raise RuntimeError, (Install failed with exit code %s\n%s % RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/share/ubiquity/install.py, line 1404, in ? install.run() File /usr/share/ubiquity/install.py, line 385, in run self.configure_bootloader() File /usr/share/ubiquity/install.py, line 1163, in configure_bootloader raise InstallStepError( InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1 Essentially this is the same error I experienced when using the default hd0 On 1/20/07, Roland Bouman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive.
