[Bug 1117292] Re: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation
I can confirm #38 (cyphermox) still applies to 14.04.04. Had a 14.04.04 desktop install and created a server install on the same stick without erasing it first. Ran into the "busybox-initramfs" failing to install issue as some others in this thread have. Issue was resolved by erasing the install stick as described in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1450597 Install then went smoothly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1117292 Title: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1117292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1117292] Re: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation
I have used Desktop image with the Startup Disk Creator first, then overwritten that with the Server image. Upon installing from such usb stick, the initramfs failed to install. Fixed this by formatting the USB stick and then only using the Server image.

Don't get me wrong, the workarounds listed are fine, but they shouldn't be required. @Joshua; I'd still like to understand what happens if possible. Have you verified that the image you downloaded was complete and not corrupted, using md5sum? (and not the check integrity, which has issues of its own that we'll also need to fix) ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1117292 Title: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1117292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1117292] Re: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation
@Joshua, right, so you'd be seeing a different issue then. Is that generated image also failing to install completely? If so, which options do you choose in the installer? Do you preseed anything? I've opened a task for usb-creator since there does appear to be a case in which this is the source of issues -- when installing a desktop image first to a usb drive, then installing the server image to the same key without hitting "Erase disk", then the casper/ directory is left around and confuses the server install. It's assigned to me, that particular fix will be uploaded shortly. ** Also affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1117292 Title: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1117292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
