A fresh install with no internet using ubuntu-gnome 13.10 64bit iso image works fine. Comparing the difference between the ubuntu-gnome iso and a xubuntu 13.10 64bit iso image, there are several packages missing from the later:
pool/main/g/grub2-signed/grub-efi-amd64-signed_1.22+2.00-19ubuntu2_amd64.deb pool/main/s/secureboot-db/secureboot-db_1.1_amd64.deb pool/main/s/shim-signed/shim-signed_1.3+0.4-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb If these packages are added to the above xubuntu iso image, and the ./dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz and ./md5sum.txt files files are updated accordingly then the modified xubuntu install is able to complete without any errors. As far as I can tell the xubuntu and perhaps lubuntu iso images are simply missing some packages that allow an install without an internet connection to complete successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279470 Title: Fresh install from USB, no internet, to gpt blank ssd, fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1279470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
