Re: [Fwd: Re: Install not working properly- Error 15 upon reboot]

[Ryan Gallagher]

Ok it is working now, I did the whole lot after clicking "Continue using
the CD" as suggested and it works fine.  Thanks to everyone for the
help.  

Just waiting for it to finish booting then I will run apt-get install
linux and do some serious road testing.

Thanks again for all of the very prompt support and assistance from the
whole list!
Ryan.

Hrm.  If just rebooting doesn't fix it for you, you might try
running through the install again, select "Continue using the CD" (yes,
it's not a CD), and doing the apt-get update; apt-get install aptitude
... stuff at that point to see if you can get it working (chroot to
/target in this case, I think).  Aside from that you could try to make
the chroot more robust with something like `mount -t proc proc /proc`.

In the worst case, installing Ubuntu Desktop, installing the
ubuntu-mobile package, and uninstalling the ubuntu-desktop package ought
to work.  Mind you, I've not tried any of these: for me it just worked
with the forced installation of the kernel.

On another note, once one has a booted working system, it's probably
a good ideal to `apt-get install linux` to make sure to track kernel
upgrades for security fixes, etc.

Heh, I managed to work this out before reading your reply :-D

I downloaded it fine but when I ran the dpkg I got a few errors although
it did complete and now it is back to error 15.  I will try and document
the errors later on when I get the chance to try again.

Thanks again for the very fast help.

The workaround I used for this was to boot again on the USB stick,
and run the following commands.  You may need to adjust to taste:


sudo apt-get install aptitude
aptitude download linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo cp linux-image*deb /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
dpkg -i linux-image*deb
exit
sudo umount /mnt
sudo reboot

The resulting reboot worked, and my system (Kohjinsha SR) was installed.

I've also filed bug #274753 about this.

Obvious... Newbie error... U_U. Sorry.

It worked properly after installing the kernel and booting. Ubuntu Mobile on
HDD. Now I can continue testing. Thanks!

Oops.  You probably want to update your apt-cache.  Running `sudo

Same error here.
I also tried installing the new kernel by chrooting and apt-get but although
it booted, I only had cmd line.

Hi Emmet,

I experienced a problem just with the second step:

$ aptitude download linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Initializing package states... Done
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main linux-image-2.6.27-4 generic
2.6.27-4.5
   404 Not Found

bla bla bla

I have just seen that Ryan has mailed the same issue...hahaha.

Then, missing any sources line in sources list?


Thanks,
Javi

Hiya,

else having a problem with the install?  Any ideas on what is going
