I just had the same result using a clone of a Lucid VM. I was prompted part way though the process to allow grub install. A single tick box was present, un-ticked, asking if I didn't want to install grub. Leaving un-ticked and clicking forward did not work, nothing happened after waiting for some

In comment #18 you mention that the output is from Lucid before running update-manager and in that comment 'grub-pc/install_devices: ' is empty. This means that some time during Lucid, or when installing the sytem, this choice was made. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecid

Actually, during the dist-manager -d install, I did get a dialog that was all "unknown character" blocks in the message and on the buttons. I don't know what it was asking. It didn't appear to block (I never answered it, not being able to read it), but it was perhaps that message. I HAVE seen i

You should run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and instruct it to install the boot loader somewhere, probably /dev/vda. The debconf database shows that the following question was presented to you at some point: You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue, the boot loader may n

the only disk associated with this VM is a single 28GB volume. boot partition is vda1, virtio bus, raw format. The VM itself is a clone of a reference Lucid image I've been keeping for tests like this. if the configuration is somehow invalid, I'd like to know how to correct it. -- You received
