Hello Steve, after having managed the installation I would like to give you my idea of an answer to the reported failure. The system was supposed to be installed from a live-USB using UEFI. This requires several predefined partitions to make the system work properly. As you can see from the report, no EFI-partition was declared. Thus the installation had to end in a failure. It was my first UEFI installation. On the one hand I should have informed myself better in advance, on the other hand the Ubuntu error messages could be a little more informative in order to push the user to his/her mistakes.
My system works properly now and I hope this will last for a longer period of time. All the best and thanks for your assistance Peter Kuehnel Am 02.08.2016 um 21:01 schrieb Steve Langasek: > I've worked out that this log comes from a new install using the 16.04.1 > installation image.
