[Bug 1682321] Re: installing 16.04, grub failed to install
Yes that matches my experience. When I went through the install again and went the other way with the bios/uefi decision, everything seemed to work out. The text of the final error message, and the text of the BIOS/UEFI dialog box earlier on, were not sufficient to initially make a connection in my mind. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682321 Title: installing 16.04, grub failed to install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1682321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1682321] [NEW] installing 16.04, grub failed to install
Public bug reported: Tried to upgrade 14.04 to 16.04 from a USB onto an Intel NUC. Gave an error at the end about grub failing to install and won't be able to boot. Tried again, instead of upgrading, reformatted / partition and installed, same error. This is the automatically generated error, not sure what happens from here. Will try again, reformatting boot partition as well.

[Bug 933283] Re: Fresh 10.04 upgrade, firefox won't run
Thanks for checking in. I already moved the old ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_old, and none of my attempts have yet created a new ~/.mozilla (except when I managed to start up firefox as root, it probably created a /.mozilla, which I should probably look for and delete). I'll double-check tonight though. Another thing, I'll log in as a different user and try that; and I'll create a new user and try that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933283 Title: Fresh 10.04 upgrade, firefox won't run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/933283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: Upgraded to 10.04 from, I think it was 8.04? (it was pretty old). Everything seemed to go ok, except sound and firefox. I found some other web advice to do with fixing up alsa, so sound works now. But still firefox will not start. Click the icon, error window Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
