[Bug 1908402] [NEW] Kubuntu 20.10 fails to boot after installation from ISO

2020-12-16 Thread Georg Schwarz
Public bug reported:

I downloaded 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/20.10/release/kubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
 and downloaded the ISO via Bittorent, wrote it to an USB stick and booted a 
very ordinary PC (which has a single SATA HD) from it. I chose install Kubuntu, 
chose use entire disk (guided) and successfully installed with no visible 
issues (chose download from Internet during installation and install third 
party stuff, but I believe this is not relevant). At the end when prompted I 
chose "restart" and when the installer a few moments later asked me to remove 
the boot medium and hit enter I removed the USB stick and hit enter. When the 
PC rebooted then the BIOS complained that no bootable device could be found. I 
did the install twice, both times with the same effect. I then installed 
Kubuntu 20.04 using the same procedure, and things did work fine with 20.04. 
I've successfully installed dozens of Linux distributions on that machine over 
time, and it's very unlikely to be a hardware issue. To me it looks like the 
Kubuntu 20.10 installer fails to properly make the disk bootable or install the 
bootloader.
Prior to my installation attempt, some other Linux distro had already been 
installed, but I explicitly chose "use entire disk", so that should not matter.

[Bug 1759112] Re: Disable numlockx on laptops

2019-01-06 Thread Georg Schwarz
With Xubuntu 10.04 on a Macbook, although that machine is correctly identified 
as a laptop, Numlock is on by default. This is because the internal keyboard is 
(technically correctly) recognized as a USB keyboard by 55numlockx.
The solution was to explicitly set numlock off in /etc/default/numlockx.

[Bug 1458365] [NEW] incorrect decimal separator in German install

2015-05-24 Thread Georg Schwarz
Public bug reported:

With the ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64 install (and most likely all others, too), 
when having selected German as the language, the system states that a hard disk 
of at least "6.6 GB" is required. However, in German the decimal separator is 
not a point but a comma, so it should be "6,6 GB". Please note that the same is 
true for certain other languages such as e.g. French (I didn't check whether 
the same issue comes up when selecting French as the install language).
