Public bug reported:
The package that I have been trying to install since early December is
Ubuntu 14.04.1.
First, I used the Universal USB Installer to create a Try Ubuntu ...
installation on an 8GB DataStickPro USB flash drive.
This pendrive works great when plugged in to my Dell Inspiron
As the 250GB hard drive from the 6430NX destop PC works OK when
connected via USB to the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, I ought to be able
to execute an install from the Try Ubuntu ... pendrive in the 1545
laptop, but I want that to go into the second 50GB, ext4 primary
partition on the USB-connected
hard drive via USB to the
Inspiron laptop while using gparted to realign and create the present
partition structure. However, changing the paritions had no effect
whatsoever on the present lack-of-usable-GUI behavior.
I am George Langford, a.k.a. amenex.
Note: this bug screen does not like
With continuing attention to this bug I discovered that I could select
Lubuntu at login and that this got me to a proper Desktop with full
access to the OS's procedures, accessories and applications, including
the other primary partitions on the hard drive and to my LAN.
