Bug#847446: GRUB\LILO wont install in live mode, only in graphical install

2016-12-08 Thread Роман
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I was installing Debian Jessie 8.6.0 via LiveDVD image in 'live' mode, on a 
VirtualBox virtual machine, w\o Internet connection. And I got a GRUB install 
failure; I then tried to install LILO instead, with no success. The error was 
saying something like "failed to install package 'grub-pc' to /target/ ...".
I then finished the installation w/o the bootloader, rebooted again in live 
mode, and I couldn't use commands "grub-install" or "update-grub", getting a 
message "command not found". "locate grub-install" gave nothing too.
And then I tried a new installation, this time in 'graphical mode', and 
everything went fine, including GRUB installation. This installation was w\o 
Internet connection too.

Comments/Problems:
Had no network cable connected.
Got an error installing GRUB, as well as LILO.

I was installing Debian Jessie 8.6.0 via LiveDVD image in 'live' mode, on a 
VirtualBox virtual machine, w\o Internet connection. And I got a GRUB install 
failure; I then tried to install LILO instead, with no success. The error was 
saying something like "failed to install 'grub-pc' to /target/ ...".
I then finished the installation w/o the bootloader, rebooted again in live 
mode, and I couldn't use commands "grub-install" or "update-grub", getting a 
message "command not found". "locate grub-install" gave nothing too.
And then I tried a new installation, this time in 'graphical mode', and 
everything went fine, including GRUB installation. This installation was w\o 
Internet connection too.
