[Bug 1588338] Re: Ubiquity fails to install on Mac Mini 2006
This is happening to me in the Lubuntu 16.04 install. I'm installing from a USB stick. It's a 2008 Macbook with an aftermarket SSD that was wiped - not even a partition table. The "erase disk and install ubuntu" installation method gets all the way past partitioning and copying files, then fails with "unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda" as the dialog title, text is "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." When running 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' from a terminal window, the error is thus: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'. To add insult to injury, the following dialog is broken; see #1608006. I haven't successfully gotten grub installed yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588338 Title: Ubiquity fails to install on Mac Mini 2006 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1588338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It looks like you had some network problems that prevented downloading packages during the install. Please try again when your network is working properly, or unplug from the network entirely and do an offline install. ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588338 Title: Ubiquity fails to install on Mac Mini 2006 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1588338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1588338] Re: Ubiquity fails to install on Mac Mini 2006
** Description changed: I have a Mac Mini 2006. This model supports 64-bit and I had succesfully installed Lubuntu 15.04 64-bit before, but it has only 1GB of RAM. So I want to wipe my disk and clean install Lubuntu 16.04 (32-bit) on it, on UEFI mode, but after copying all the files, Ubiquity complains about - grub-ia32 failing to install. + grub-efi-ia32 failing to install. + + I thought installation failed because Ubiquity closed. But the system + was properly installed, only missing the bootloader. Had to load grub + from a pendrive, boot the installed system from command line and install + grub-efi-ia32, then it worked.
