Public bug reported: /var/log/installer/syslog ---Not Really a Bug, More Like User Error/Ignorance /var/log/installer/partman (Unable to copy these files) Prior to running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS from a USB drive,seeking drive space by deleting the partitions of older OS's like Mint 15 and 16, I had deleted several partitions on my disk drive. I messed something up as I could no longer boot my multiple OS's normally from grub. (Though my original Windows 8.1's partition was still usable(Windows was primary on this ACER E1 laptop) ; Win8.1 took several minutes to boot.)
When I tried to install Ubuntu 16..04 LTS on my disturbed hard drive, the installer failed during installation. I don't know how to find or attach the installer log files listed above,so I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure the installer failure was due to my prior ignorance about the effects of deleting several partitions on the hard drive.
