I completed an install on dc7700 - two systems (noble) exist on drive - boot install media (lubuntu noble RC) - select partition (I selected SDA2, ignoring SDA1) for `/` WITHOUT FORMAT - let it install
(this system is OLD, legacy-BIOS so no ESP; Lubuntu's calamares doesn't create one by default for BIOS machine; iso.qa report at https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/453/builds/300140/testcases/1701/results/) on reboot; two options appeared in grub. - SDA1 was in grub & when booted looked untouched - SDA2 contained new install, file-system system directories all time-stamped mins ago (not hours ago) as expected for new install.. packages I added are present (fortune, clementine etc).. I COULD NOT RE-CREATE THIS ISSUE.. Only difference between this and prior install could have been I selected second partition (SDA2) where last time I selected SDA1?? but I can't see that as making an difference; could it?? Given I've only experienced this issue twice, and could not re-create.. I'd be happy with marking bug as INCOMPLETE.. I could re-try by installing to SDA1 (same type of install) if you think there is any chance of difference.. but I couldn't re-create issue today (me attempting same type of install on same box) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060624 Title: lubuntu/xubuntu reinstall (& install) on dual boot system, grub does appear & offer OS choice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/2060624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
