You said that before you set up truecrypt on windows, that ubuntu installed and ran fine, so I inferred that either the problem comes from installing grub to a partition, or from having truecrypt in the MBR that does something weird before running grub.
When I said broken state, I meant the hardware, not a config file. For testing purposes, could you try installing Ubuntu and letting grub take over the MBR and restore the truecrypt MBR later? If that resolves the luks and X problems, that would confirm the problem is either with grub being in a partition, or truecrypt loading before it. From there we could narrow down which of the two it is by installing a normal boot loader to the MBR and grub to a partition. If having grub in a partition without truecrypt works, but with truecrypt fails, then truecrypt must be doing something strange. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979971 Title: grub install to partition fails with 12.04 alternate & LUKS multiboot setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/979971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
