Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
on arm where we currently (at the point of jaunty beta) have no
bootloader, the ubiquity/install_bootloader=false preseeding option is
handed over on the cmdline.
booting into the live session, opening a terminal and issuing the
following command:
echo get ubiquity/install_bootloader | sudo debconf-communicate
properly returns false
at the end of the install ubiquity closes with a crash message, checking
/var/log/installer/debug shows that it quits with the "No bootloader
installer found" message.
checking as above in a terminal with
echo get ubiquity/install_bootloader | sudo debconf-communicate
now suddenly returns true
no other commands or applications apart from ubiquity were run from booting up
to the error, the full cmdline used on this hardware is:
"console=ttymxc0,115200 console=tty file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed
ubiquity/install_bootloader=false boot=casper LIVEMEDIA=/dev/mmcblk0p1 --"
obviously either ubiquity itself or a command it executes in the backend
reverts the setting of the preseed value.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
