Okay, I have a patch that should hopefully at least solve the surface level problem for you. Could you please run the install one last time for me, following these instructions:
Press "Try Ubuntu" at the first screen. When the desktop appears, connect to the Internet, open a terminal window, then run the following commands: sudo apt-get -y install patch wget https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/630529/+attachment/1672796/+files/630529.patch -O /tmp/patch cd /usr/lib/ubiquity sudo patch -p0 < /tmp/patch # Make sure this command completes successfully sed -i 's/#set -x/set -x/' /usr/share/grub-installer/grub-installer ubiquity -d Run through the install again and let me know if the bootloader is still getting installed to the pen drive. If it's not, please attach /var/log/installer/debug and /var/log/syslog from that installation attempt. Thanks a bunch for all your help in getting to the bottom of this! ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Critical ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-10.10 -- Installing from USB drive writes boot sector to USB not HDD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/630529 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
