I do not see it as related to external problem. As far as I can understand the situation, it relates to certain configuration during initial loading of Live CD. It does not matter where wrong configuration came from: were it external program, or (stupid) actions of newbie- superuser. I am willing to invest some time to reproduce problem if it would help you. I am sure it is pretty consistent. Then (because it is going to be dedicated computer) we will be able to analyze it at pleasure. Please, let me know if you want me to reproduce. I will. -- installation failure (grub) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177951 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

Since the problem no longer exists and may have been related to some external program would it be ok with you if we close this bug and if it occurs again you can report it then? -- installation failure (grub) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177951 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
[Bug 177951] Re: installation failure (grub)
First of all, thank you very much. Sorry, I needed the machine, so I re-formatted root partition. I did not preserve copy of the update log either, as Linux was not bootable. I do not consider this to be related to update process per se. My primary concern were problems during installation process. They are not related to the update: I had the same kind of reaction, when I successfully installed Linux (including Grub), and then decided to change partitioning scheme. Being Linux newbie I used external tool: deleted all Kubuntu partitions, created new, and was not able to boot Live CD. Apparently some component presumes that if MBR contains Grub, the partition with Grub should be this or that. My solution was (in both cases) to zero MBR (except for partition data and signature, which are last 42h bytes). After it, Live CD went up ok, and I was able to install Kubuntu. The only other thought I had is that Grub might place some of its data in MBR, which are misguiding in this situation. Please let me know, and I will do my best to reproduce the problem (with boot, not with update) on other computer. I think I can do it pretty consistently. -- installation failure (grub) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177951 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

Can you attach a copy of the update-manager log Are you currently unable to boot into Ubuntu? ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => update-manager -- installation failure (grub) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177951 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

Sorry, I forgot to mention: Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Live CD, Dell OptyPlex GX60, multy-partition configuration: 1) Primary - active - Ext3 (grub host) 2) Extended 2a) Ext3 Home 2b) Swap 3) Primary FAT32 - unused 4) Primary NTFS - WinXP, practically unused. -- installation failure (grub) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177951 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
