I believe the ISO image for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that I had was either defective or missing the appropriate rescue options. Many people have posted that they receive the error that rescue cannot find the Linux Kernel. I know I have a Linux Kernel, because it boots. I'm trying to run Rescue because it won't boot to the desktop.
1. I booted from the Live CD. 2. I started installation from the install shortcut. 3. I chose "Choose another option" hoping that it might r.ecognize my installation and give me an option to fix it. 4. It went straight to select partions with no way to choose other options besides defining my partitions. 5. There was no Cancel optioin, so I closed the window. For those who have this exact issue. The only suggestion is to do what I plan to do. Either I will reinstall from scratch, or I will download yet another rescue image to repair my installation. For those who care or are interested, it quit working after I tried to install LightDM -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027648 Title: ubiquity crashed with ValueError in command(): I/O operation on closed file.
