Re: [Bug 1639374] Re: grub-pc fails to remove, rendering lubuntu uninstallable on EFI machines

2017-03-20 Thread Thomas W. Fort 
When I had the issue, the problem was the flash card security.  Zeroing out
the flash card helped some, as I recall.  Since then, I switched to Linux
Mint, for multimedia support.

Re: [Bug 1639374] Re: grub-pc fails to remove, causing lubuntu installs to crash

2017-01-17 Thread Thomas W. Fort 
Laptop doing fine, ignoring it's flash drive altogether. Not sure if
security on it was frozen (have read some about that...)

On my homebuild similar issue--wanting Lubuntu on both machines, laptop for
mobility, homebuild for media.

On homebuild, install crashed after shred of purchased single flash drive.
Went back and zeroed it, and then install finished fine.

I like zeroing---kind of like replaning brakes in a car-- slightly
destructive, but man, does it get you up and running!

Re: [Bug 1639374] Re: grub-pc fails to remove, causing lubuntu installs to crash

2017-01-09 Thread Thomas W. Fort 
The problem was the Windows flash drive. I zeroed it out, and then
installation finished fine. I wanted the flash drive to be the boot drive,
but the installer skipped it, and used the larger drive for all partitions.
The system has been fine ever since.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639374

The problem was the Windows partition on the 20 GB flash booting drive. I
zeroed out the drive from a command line, then put a new boot partition on
the drive, and then the installation cruised. The laptop has functioned
well since then. Thanks!
