What on earth is incomplete about this bug? How hard can it be to add an option Do not install boot-loader (Advanced Users Only! to a drop- down menu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

@Evan: I am sure you are a very good panelist, as you are brilliant at twisting the discussion in a way that makes it impossible to get in a good answer. I will answer any way: - You don't have hard numbers to support the removal of the Don't install boot loader option. You Just assume there is

@Evan Dandrea: Sometimes I find it hard to keep my cool on launchpad when people just mark a bug invalid - this is one such moment. I will not write a comment about ivory towers and nerds or some such, but just quote the Ubuntu motto: Linux for Human Beings It really doesn't matter that there

I can confirm the issue is still present in the Alpha2 release of natty. I have the same setup as Kent Baxley: 1.) Ubuntu 11.04 alpha2 amd64 2.) USB startup-ISO generated by multisystem 3.) Installation crashes with an Ubiquity assertion error about 75% through installation. snippet from

Very annoying feature. I run a complex multi-boot environment where I do not want the Ubuntu installer to mess around with my boot loader(s) at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

If this is the direction of Ubuntu development, then bug reports seem indeed to become pointless. Unless it is broken for the systems the developers are using, it is not considered a bug. A very sorry state of affairs and a good way to make sure that bug #1 will never be resolved. -- [maverick]

2010-06-11 Thread Stephan Muhs
I also find aptitude more useful than apt-get in many cases and would not want to see it omitted. If 2 MB of space on the image is a concern, there are other ways to make room: remove some wallpapers and other non-functional stuff on the Live- CD. Also, at this point in time, one should start to

2010-03-12 Thread Stephan Muhs
It is flabbergasting that the marketing spin (started in late 80s, I believe) to make hard drives look bigger by redefining the kilobyte as 1000 bytes has now hit Ubuntu as well. Every filesystem I have ever worked with did stick to the old definition of kb (1024 bytes) and MB (1024*1024 MB) and

I can confirm that hitting the 2 key at any time after initial system boot will crash X. On my system, the Enter key will NOT crash X. So if I change my password to anything that does not contain the number 2, X will boot into the Gnome desktop. Ubuntu will work perfectly fine until, whenever,
