[Bug 658865] Re: An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed upon install from USB

2010-12-01 Thread long.in.the.tooth
Yes, just worked one out this weekend.

Ubiquity is a collection of shell scripts.  There is a shell script that
attempts to add the cdrom to the apt-sources list, and this script
crashes and brings down the whole install.

The workaround is to go find that script and delete it.

1.  Start the machine in trial mode.
2.  Open a terminal
3.  $ locate ubiquity | grep apt

That command will show you a directory like /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt or
somesuch.

Look around under there for a file that looks like '40cdrom' and remove
it.  Then click on the 'install ubuntu' icon and away you go.

Wish I had the filesystem in front of me or I'd go find the full path
for you.

Good luck!
