Success story! I used to get only to the point where: [20:20:25] Installing... [20:20:25] Source CD: /home/konrad/Download/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [20:20:25] Destination disk: /dev/sdc1 [20:20:25] Persistence size: 6366 MB [20:20:25] Marking partition 1 as active. [20:20:25] installing the bootloader to /dev/sdc1. [20:20:25] Forcing shutdown of the install process.
and nothing happened. It turned out (after some printf-debugging in backend.py) that I had no 'mtools' installed. I installed mtools and that problem was gone. You can check if that is your problem by looking up the device of your USB drive's single partition (e.g. /dev/sdc1) and trying the command sudo syslinux /dev/sdc1 # if /dev/sdc1 is your USB stick's VFAT partition, better check twice If mtools are missing, syslinux will complain. -- Hangs on "Starting Up" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
