Re: [Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed"
My comments are years old, so I can't recall the details of the error, but
the combinations of the two sets of instructions for adding additional
packages, and burning a USB from a CD, don't jibe, leaving users in the
lurch.
One or the other set of instructions should be updated to reflect this.
I switched to Arch years ago, simply because their documentation is superb!

[Bug 658865] Re: Install from USB fails: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed
Removing the apt-setup/generators/40cdrom file requires that one have net connectivity to complete the installation. What's the point of having a cdrom, or usb stick with a complete distro except to either avoid the overhead of (repeated) download(s) (multiple installs) or a slow net connection to begin with (some of my friends still use dialup). My problem is potentially compounded by the fact that I'm installing UEFI. I don't like either of these workarounds, there must be something better. What's the purpose of the cdrom-detect/try-usb=true boot arg? Isn't that supposed to offer a clue that /cdrom is really a USB?

[Bug 873645] Re: fresh install fails during installation of grub-efi
Instead of removing the 40cdrom file, I edited the line that checks for iso9660 fs and commented it out, forcing apt to accept usb install, but since it's an EFI install the I believe efi folder is missing from the /cdrom once it's chrooted -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873645 Title: fresh install fails during installation of grub-efi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/873645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
