[Bug 1265192] Re: Reinstallation wipes out all/other partitions
This is the worst experience I have ever had in many years of using Linux. I could have lost ALL my critical data on my 1 tb data. All I lost was a week of work. But this bug is awful. Several details I found by scouring the web: 1. It appears that Windows 8 and 8.1 partitions are NOT recognized by Debian (upstream) installer NOR recognized at all by Ubuntu. 2. It appears that some fundamental triage to the partition table is required (a repair action) to work around this problem. Given the severity of data loss caused by this problem, I think it's got to be fixed. Meanwhile, I say, farewell Ubuntu. I've had enough. I'll use a tool that gives me SOME indication something is wrong before ALL my data is GONE forever. There's something to be said for making things "EASY" but the Ubuntu installer is a danger to the whole world, and needs to be avoided until the Windows 8 and 8.1 partitions are ALWAYS detected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265192 Title: Reinstallation wipes out all/other partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 572212] Re: Upgrade from Karmic to Lucid failed
I had the same problem. Your bug report fixed what I thought was going to require a complete format and reinstall. The problem appears to be that I had left my version of Karmic without enough updates, and then attempted a distribution upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. Whatever GUI process kicked off the rewrite of /etc/apt/sources.list to show the sources for Lucid, did not first do whatever checks were required for baseline versions of things like apt- get and dpkg and its related dependancies. This created a bit of a bootstrap problem, resulting in the inability to install a core package like linux-utils, which also can not be uninstalled without creating huge problems. It is pretty unintuitive to figure out that dpkg itself is the thing to reinstall to "rebase" my linux system on a new core. But hey, it makes sense now that I've found your report. Hooray for Google, and this bug database.

[Bug 78282] Re: vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update
I am getting the same problem here. Everything broke in the upgrade to 7.04, vnc4server latest is bad, but reverting to edgy (uncomment edgy lines in apt/sources, and downgrade) fixes it.
