** Visibility changed to: Public ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity Okay, so, I've been trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 repeatedly over the past few days, and been running into the same error - the grub2 install goes horribly, horribly wrong. This time, I decided to try ext4 instead of ext3 with 8GB swap. That obviously didn't work. But I did finally find a nice, shiny 'report bug' button. So here we are. Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 ubiquity: - Installed: 2.2.24 - Candidate: 2.2.24 - Version table: - *** 2.2.24 0 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 2.2.23 0 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages + Installed: 2.2.24 + Candidate: 2.2.24 + Version table: + *** 2.2.24 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 2.2.23 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages I expected it to install Ubuntu onto a 320GB WD3200KSRTL hard drive. One ext4 partition filling the whole drive. I have an EVGA 780i SLI motherboard, and another hard drive of mine recently died, if that helps any. Instead, it hit the point at which it was supposed to install the bootloader, choked, told me it wasn't able to, I picked 'install without a bootloader,' and then it crashed and kicked me to a live session. This has been happening repeatedly, with multiple partition sizes and types, using both a gparted LiveCD followed by the Ubuntu LiveCD, just the Ubuntu LiveCD with the included version of gparted, in a live session, straight from boot... The list of things I tried goes on and on. And I'm sure the hard drive is fine. Oh, and sometimes when I go to Disk Manager, the hard drive either changes from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb, or disappears entirely. I think that might be related. :P ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: ubiquity 2.2.24 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue May 25 06:29:59 2010 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.6 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity --greeter --only ProcEnviron: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/2824/environ' PythonArgs: ['/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity', '--greeter', '--only'] SourcePackage: ubiquity Title: ubiquity crashed with OSError in install_extras() UserGroups: -- Ubiquity fails to install GRUB2, then crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
