Sorry, this is my first time trying to debug os-level installer. I don't know how to switch the install from auto to manual, then back to auto.
I ran the auto install through to the point where it was waiting for me to confirm the grub install on the master boot record, where I would normally say yes. At that point, I switched over to a console (Alt-F2), and ran the os-prober manually and captured the output. When switching back to the auto installer (Alt-F1), I answered the question (yes), and it gave me a different failure. I wasn't focusing on that failure, as I was thinking the os-prober output was the interesting part. What I do remember is that when running it straight through automatically, it put up a list of my drives asking which one I wanted to install grub on (mbr on sda, partition on sdb, or sdc, or sdd). This time, when switching back from the command line console to the installer console, it didn't give me my list of drives to choose from, and it popped up a text field for me to enter the drive name to do the grub install on. When I entered /dev/sda, it gave the failure. I'll redo it tonight and get more specific detail of the failure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770173 Title: 18.04 install stuck on grub install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1770173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
