Yeah that is one of the things you might want to improve on the installer (although it maybe hard). I made a screenshot (as I installed from the livecd, that program was running) but found out I could not save that (which is probably reasonable) I also noticed that I could select the trace, but apparently, not copy it.

Re: [Bug 80683] Re: PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60
Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The partion manager only shows sda partitions, but the next screen stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA drives? I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to install GRUB Cheers!

Hi, > Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this > bug, following the directions in > http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in > advance. I'm very sorry but I don't think I can obtain those logs anymore at this point. If I would have an extra machine to play with, I'd try to do it again but I am unable to do that at the moment. I can inform you that the problem has to do with dual boot system I had windows preinstalled, and tried to setup a dual boot system and that caused the ailure as described. I then succeeded in installation by explicitly specifying sda1 for grub. I failed that before because I used the parenthesis, (sda1) which were also used by default, as in (hd0) .I now believe these indicate that it is the default rather than having any other meaning. Anyway, installing to grub sda1 (the windows partition with MBR) succeeded, but I was then unable to boot. I then decided that my life would be much simpler without windows anyway, so I then had Ubuntu erase the entire disk. That worked marvelously and i am now a very happy ubuntu user. I hope the extra info is helpful.

Hi, > Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this > bug, following the directions in > http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in > advance. I'm very sorry but I don't think I can obtain those logs anymore at this point. If I would have an extra machine to play with, I'd try to do it again but I am unable to do that at the moment. I can inform you that the problem has to do with dual boot system I had windows preinstalled, and tried to setup a dual boot system and that caused the ailure as described. I then succeeded in installation by explicitly specifying sda1 for grub. I failed that before because I used the parenthesis, (sda1) which were also used by default, as in (hd0) .I now believe these indicate that it is the default rather than having any other meaning. Anyway, installing to grub sda1 (the windows partition with MBR) succeeded, but I was then unable to boot. I then decided that my life would be much simpler without windows anyway, so I then had Ubuntu erase the entire disk. That worked marvelously and i am now a very happy ubuntu user. I hope the extra info is helpful.

Yeah that is one of the things you might want to improve on the installer (although it maybe hard). I made a screenshot (as I installed from the livecd, that program was running) but found out I could not save that (which is probably reasonable) I also noticed that I could select the trace, but apparently, not copy it.

Re: [Bug 80683] Re: PC Ubuntu 6.10 installer from live cd crashed on ThinkpadR60
Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The partion manager only shows sda partitions, but the next screen stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA drives? I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to install GRUB Cheers!

Yeah that is one of the things you might want to improve on the installer (although it maybe hard). I made a screenshot (as I installed from the livecd, that program was running) but found out I could not save that (which is probably reasonable) I also noticed that I could select the trace, but apparently, not copy it. I tried ctrl+C, ctrl+shift+C ...anyway i could not paste it. I did see a popup saying: "error istalling grub in " i think "hda0" but not sure. Then I got the dreaded "This is a fatal error" (or so)message and that was the end of it.

Hi, my guess now is that it is because i have a S-ATA hard drive. The partion manager only shows sda partitions, but the next screen stubbornly offers hd0 to install GRUB which I presume is not for S-ATA drives? I am now adventurously trying it with sd0 for grub, and see what happens, but it would be neat if the installer just knew where to install GRUB Cheers!

Hi!
same problem, but I looked a bit more and was now able to copy the
trace (right-click, copy)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 166, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 161, in main
install(sys.argv[1])

InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1
Essentially this is the same error I experienced when using the default
hd0

Hi, > Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this > bug, following the directions in > http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in > advance. I'm very sorry but I don't think I can obtain those logs anymore at this point. If I would have an extra machine to play with, I'd try to do it again but I am unable to do that at the moment. I can inform you that the problem has to do with dual boot system I had windows preinstalled, and tried to setup a dual boot system and that caused the ailure as described. I then succeeded in installation by explicitly specifying sda1 for grub. I failed that before because I used the parenthesis, (sda1) which were also used by default, as in (hd0) .I now believe these indicate that it is the default rather than having any other meaning. Anyway, installing to grub sda1 (the windows partition with MBR) succeeded, but I was then unable to boot. I then decided that my life would be much simpler without windows anyway, so I then had Ubuntu erase the entire disk. That worked marvelously and i am now a very happy ubuntu user. I hope the extra info is helpful.
