Public bug reported:
USB install aside of 16.04 is second (divided) partition, all ok but
fails to install grub. Tried all 3 choices sda6 (usb, which boot fine
BTW), 16.04, and some strange windows version, all fail equally.
Looks like a write problem like maybe it out grew expected space when
stored
device is Lenevo ideaPad with Intel core i7 8GB ram, 1 terabyte HDD 2.5m
cache, using amd64 download retrieved yesterday July 8
note 18.04 runs fine off the USB and 16.04 still boots (though it is no
longer usable since an auto update cause the default key ring system to
so relentlessly request a password that locks the screen while it waits
so nothing else can be done at least from a keyboard) 16.04 ran fine for
year till the update 2 or 3 weeks ago now) Just as an aside I never yet
found out how to set the default key ring password. nothing I have seen
on the web is current enough to be useful.
Tried this now several times. have take the time using the USB running
version to mount the the 16.04 partition and copy the /home space to a
terabyte usb drive so I can now step on the primary partition.
and try installing there. if that fails it will speak volumes.
Hope this helps
