I had the same problem, and like Johnny above realized it was due to not
connecting the LAN cable during setup so it could configure DHCP.

[Bug 192938] Re: GRUB won't install in text mode in hardy alpha 4

2009-12-17 Thread Jonny
I had the exact same error while installing Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit. After
finding this thread I looked in /var/log/syslog for details, and noticed
that apt-get install grub failed near the end of the install. I
rebooted into the live CD, configured my networking properly and
attempted the install again. It worked perfectly this time. Perhaps the
installation media either needs grub2 to be added, or maybe the user
needs to be given an opportunity to configure the network settings prior
to installation? At any rate, I hope this helps!

Greetings,

I had the following error whilst installing Debian on an Ubuntu 9.04
VirtualBox:

The 'grub' package failed to install into /target/.

Well, it turned out that the install ran out of disk space... alt f2
told the tale.

Regards,

Flint

2008-04-17 Thread Gilbert Mendoza
FYI... I have been facing the same issue installing Hardy Beta Alternate
and Server Editions on an OQO Model 02, VirtualBox, and in VMWare
Server.

I've successfully been able to work around the grub installation failure
in all cases by doing the following:

1. When the installer goes to the red screen regarding GRUB faling to
install, I hit ok until it takes me back to the installer menu asking
whether to install GRUB, Lilo, etc.

2. Alt+F2 into another terminal window, and hit enter at prompt.

3. chroot /target

4. apt-get install grub which then installs a number of dependencies,
and also generates the initramfs images, etc.

5. After GRUB successfully installs, ALT+F1 bank to the menu, and choose
to Install Grub.  It's already installed by now the installer gets
further than it did before.  It also asks whether you want to install
GRUB to the MBR which I accept.

The installer completes, and CD ejects, and GRUB is installed without
any apparent issues.

I have not tried a newer (daily/nightly) install CD, so I'm not sure if
this has been corrected already.

I mean the beta images.  I didn't realize there was a latest daily build
CD I could download.  I could try again with what I now find at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/

I note that after proceeding by allowing it to install LILO, I ended up
with partitions under /dev/mapper/ even though I'm not running LVM on
this system.  Maybe that, or something related, might have fooled grub-
install into thinking that /boot was on LVM?

[Bug 192938] Re: GRUB won't install in text mode in hardy alpha 4

2008-04-13 Thread scott
IIRC, the problem wasn't with grub itself. It was that an earlier
install step that failed (installation of language-pack-gnome-en-base).
Once this failed, no new packages could be installed (including grub),
but I was only informed that the installation was failing when grub was
being installed. At least, that's how I interpret the entries in my
syslog file (that I posted earlier). Those entries are below. I think to
get around this I installed a nightly build at a later point, where the
language-pack-gnome-en-base package had been fixed.

Probably what needs to happen is that the process which installed the
earlier package needs to be fixed to inform the user of the error at
that point, so that grub doesn't get blamed later by mistake.

I hope that helps!

I reformated the disks since I was not able to boot Ubuntu.
My setup is dualboot with XP.
I don't have the data.

I installed ubuntu from the liveCD 20080218.
I run Ubuntu, great!
I'll test the setup and keep using XP for the time being.
I should reinstall ubuntu and XP completely during the next 4 weeks.
I'll test alternate then.
