Public bug reported: I've been following various forums & Wiki to see how to get mbr and grub on USB flash memory with no success, either for an install or USBLive. Example of failures follows.
We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 161, in main install(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 57, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 305, in run self.process_step() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 856, in process_step self.progress_loop() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 628, in progress_loop raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s\n%s" % RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1404, in ? install.run() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 385, in run self.configure_bootloader() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1163, in configure_bootloader raise InstallStepError( InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1 I couldn't see how to attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this window.
