Public bug reported: Binary package hint: partman
steps to reproduce: - have a setup with one hd with only windows installed (let's call it hda) - have a usb stick on which you want to install ubuntu (let's call it sda) - boot from live cd, install, choose automatic partitioning of sda ("geführte partitionierung" in german) - reboot with usb stick unplugged - grub will want to load a stage2, of course unable to do so solution: grub should not be installed on partitions not selected reason: users rely on the installer not to touch disks it is not explicitly told to touch and get very nervous when the system they rely on (for many people just switching to ubuntu, this is still windows) does not work any more after installing linux workaround for windows not booting: fdisk /dev/hda set hda1 (the windows partition) as bootable ** Affects: partman (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- installer installs grub to hda when using guided partitioning for sda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
