Is this still relevant on a currently supported version of Ubuntu? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196075 Title: Hanging ntfs-mounts leave system unbootable when install is cancelled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/196075/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 196075] Re: Hanging ntfs-mounts leave system unbootable when install is cancelled
It's mounting the partitions to determine what operating system is on them, so it can generate the human readable names in the grub menu, like "Windows XP Professional" and "Ubuntu 7.04". I imagine this is a bug in os-prober or grub-installer, but I'll need log files from a failing install attempt to be sure. Can you please run the install again in debug mode (`ubiquity --debug` from a terminal) and attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/installer/debug, and the output of `ps auxf` to this bug report when it starts to hang? -- Hanging ntfs-mounts leave system unbootable when install is cancelled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes. But anyway, it hang not while searching for other OSs, but later when actually trying to mount the partitions (According to actual command-line parameters), which i consider a bug when hanging there for hours without activity and not even gracefully failing after a timeout and informing the user something might be wrong. But what i was reporting is that the main installer thing call grub- installer in a too early situation (before knowing that it had a reasonable overview about my partitions, and their ability to be mounted by ntfs-3g for what ever reason), and permitted that grub thing to leave my system in an unbootable state (i could even reach my old windows installation nor a grub menu nor anything). So i am not sure whether this bug is grub or brub-installer related.

"...in the attempt of obviously (as reported by df) mounting several existing ntfs partitions from my drives into one mounting point (/var/lib/os-prober/mount) for whatever reason (looks like some known issues in mount.ntfs-3g 1.913...)." This is os-prober trying to determine what operating systems are on the partitions on your disk.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu. It is impossible to ever guarantee with 100% certainty that the bootloader will succeed until the attempt is made; this is a limitation inherent to software. Any failures to correctly boot are certainly bugs, and all such bugs are taken seriously, but they can't all be solved and eliminated before they're seen. At any rate, if the files are missing from /boot, this sounds to me like a bug in grub-installer rather than in grub; reassigning to that installer component. ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: grub => grub-installer -- Hanging ntfs-mounts leave system unbootable when install is cancelled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
