Bug#785069: jessie live-installer can't install grub when booted via usb drive without internet
The workaround of running apt-cdrom add from the installer chroot as say the comment #25 work for me: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785069#25 I'm research if is possible to run via internal hooks of debian-installer but i do not know exactly where put the simple bash script that run "in-target apt-cdrom add" that must run before grub-installer step. If found some comment in this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678611#10 That mention posible paths like usr/lib/finish-install.d usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d usr/lib/post-base-installer.d and more... Any guy that know more d-i internals can help here. I use live-build, and i think can be easy put that script on: config/includes.installer/usr/lib* and shipp it on the installer part of the final iso live image.

Bug#785069: jessie live-installer can't install grub when booted via usb drive without internet
I’ve dug the problem more and found out that when the installer is started from the boot menu, apt-cdrom-setup udeb is also added to the installer, however when installer is started from the live-environment, this udeb is omitted somehow. This causes installation media not to be scanned as a candidate apt repository after installation completes. The bug may solve itself if somehow live-installer also loads apt-cdrom-setup udeb during startup. I personally didn’t find a way to do so yet.
Bug#785069: jessie live-installer can't install grub when booted via usb drive without internet
I'm having the same problem and dug into it a bit. The bug happens as follows: 1. live-installer installs the system fine, and sets up the apt sources via configure_apt (present in base-installer/library.sh) in its postinstall steps. 2. apt-setup enters the scene and configures the sources.list again, but fails to add the cdrom. 3. GRUB cannot be found since there's no network and CD sources are disabled. We're currently experiencing the issue in Pardus and I'm currently documenting and working on the issue and can cooperate with any willing party. Best regards, Hakan Bayindir

Pirate Praveen prav...@debian.org (2015-05-12): package: live-installer severity: critical version: 49 I had to install grub manually going into console (control+alt f1), mount the install disk and use dpkg -i to install grub twice. One was i386 lxde edition of jessie on virtual box and second was amd64 version of cinnamon+nonfree on a dell laptop. I used dd to make the usb disk bootable. In both cases internet connection was not available. I think it is something to do with configuring the disk as an apt source properly. This is very disappointing as live + install is very useful. Raphael, since you're one of the few who touched non-l10n areas of live-installer recently, any chance you could have a look? And to answer the question in [1], no you can't have a fix in a point release until it's fixed in unstable. 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/05/msg00668.html It might be useful to provide a log so that we understand what's happening here.

When I choose save debug logs option and choose web, I can only see hardware-summary and partman, which is not very useful. Should this be filed as another bug? When I look at /var/log/ only these files are present. When I chroot into /target, not much useful info in /var/log as well When I run apt-cache policy grub-pc there is no candidate present because the installation media is not selected as an apt source. When I execute a shell from installer menu and run apt-cdrom add and exit. grub install succeeds. So all we need to do is run apt-cdrom add if they choose not to use a network mirror. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
