Retried after resync'ing to most recent live image. When installer got to the
Executing 'grub-install /dev/vda' failed. This is a fatal error. Did not press ok this time, but ran the following: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /target apt-get install mdadm ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy /dev/vda /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: unable to identify a filesystem in hostdisk//dev/vda; safety check can't be performed. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy /dev/vdb /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: unable to identify a filesystem in hostdisk//dev/vdb; safety check can't be performed. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /target grub-install /dev/vdc /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: unable to identify a filesystem in hostdisk//dev/vdc; safety check can't be performed. After that, clicked ok on that "fatal error" message mentioned above. Result is a Bootloader install failed dialog with rather peculiar UI behaviour: 1. mouse icon is a spinner everywhere else except on the text input dialog 2. text input dialog/dropdown does not allow keyboard input, but copy/paste with mouse works as well as opening the dropdown with mouse 3. choosing /dev/md_d2 from list will result in ok button being dimmed without explanation why, even if you choose "cancel the installation" after that After that, chose /dev/vdb this time and pressed ok. That resulted in rather misleading situation: Installation Complete dialog with continue testing / restart now -buttons was overlaid on top of Unable to install GRUB in /dev/vdb dialog, hiding that error entirely underneath. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170584 Title: installer unresponsive after attempting grub installation on partitionable raid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1170584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
