Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I tried installing ubuntu 32 and 64 bit multiple times each on a Toshiba
120GB hdd on my lenovo T61. Each time, it crashed about 3/4 through the
installation. When it crashed, it came up with an error message. When
I clicked OK, it came up with another message to email you with what I
found, including a copy of the files. When I tried to reboot the
system, I had to force boot it with the power switch because it was
hung. It would not clear the error message and auto-reboot.
I didn't realize what you were wanting for the files, I thought you
simply meant the names of the files so you knew where the issue took
place. Had I known what you meant, i would have booted from the DVD and
retrieved the files, but I didn't understand, so I didn't save the
files.
When I tried installing Ubuntu 10.04LTS, it worked fine.
I am trying Linux for my first time, and am using a new (used) hdd (so
I could keep my original hdd unchanged to swap back), and was concerned
that I may have a bad sector on the hdd. However, since 10.4 installed
correctly, I no longer suspect the hdd, but rather the program.
I am quite good with computers and Windows systems, but new to Linux
systems. I decided to give Linux a try and see if I want to replace
Windows. I would like to try 10.10, but so far am unable.
Please see if you can tell me what the problem is and how to fix it. I
have 2GB Ram, 120 GB Toshiba SATA hdd. all else is stock configuration
for T61.
I see below where you describe the location of the files in the
installer log, and I've located them, but where do I put them to send to
you? I don't see any way of attaching them on this page.
Thanks,
Tim
