Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
Hello, I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 on my system (alongside Windows Vista Home Premium) this evening when the installer returned the following error message: We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman: As requested in the error, I am submitting this bug report. I have attached the "syslog" file requested, but I seem only to be able to attach the one file. I shall see if there is another way to submit the "partman" file before I turn in for the evening, as your guidelines are quite clear that these files are only useful in my current session. I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 to repair a problem I had upgrading from 10.10. The upgrade seemed to proceed normally, but upon restart, the GRUB bootloader failed, returning a grub rescue prompt. I was unable to boot into either Ubuntu or Windows, so I consulted a friend, and he recommended that I try installing again. I told the installer to erase the current 11.04 partition and install fresh, and about twenty minutes into the install, that error came up. I would really appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm currently running 11.04 off of an Ubuntu Live CD, which, as I'm sure you can appreciate, is a less-than-ideal solution. I'm really quite frustrated at this point because I assumed the upgrade to 11.04 wouldn't cause any problems. Also, this is the second time I've had to type all of this out, as after I clicked "Submit Bug Report" the first time, Firefox "lost connection to the server, "or something like that. So, yeah, I'm ripping my hair out at this point; I would be very appreciative of any help you can provide. Thank you, - Brennan ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784416 Title: Ubuntu 11.04 installer crash -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
