I also experienced this bug while performing a desktop install using the 32-bit (and 64-bit separately) desktop livecd installers. Both images (as they are all now isohybrid) were written to a usb stick (2GB) using dd. At the partitioning stage, it asked where to install the MBR and the default choice was /dev/sdb (which was the usb stick from which it was being installed.) /dev/sda was the sole hard drive installed (PATA drives.)
The expected behavior would be to default to /dev/sda or the first hard drive and not the usb stick from which it was being installed. Based on this, does this bug also affect ubiquity since it occurs in the case of livecd / desktop installs, too? This is a regression from Ubuntu 10.04 when it did not occur. If the user does not catch this, the fresh install is unbootable and drops to a grub> prompt when attempting to boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026450 Title: Pangolin installer problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1026450/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
