I've had a chance to try this again, and the installation succeeded! although I'd changed two environmental factors -
- a wired ethernet connection was available this time around - I used 'Startup Disk Creator' from Natty to create the boot media rather than UNetBootin I've now got this brilliant LUKS-protected Precise netbook, which I'm very happy about. I doubt UNetBootin is the culprit, so it appears an internet connection is required for tasksel to do its job. If that's the intention, maybe a note could be made in the installation process to remind users they can't continue the installation without one. Which renders this bug invalid, though needing network connectivity for an image install may be a bug itself if verified. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944945 Title: Ubuntu alternate AMD64 install ISO fails, tasksel dialog culprit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/944945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
