I'm sorry, but it does not seem to fix the bug. I just tried installing it again with ubuntu 6.06.1. Although I don't know if it uses the 'edgy' installer. The same USB hard drive works great in Windows XP and VISTA, so I doubt if it is the hard drive. It just seems that unbuntu won't install to a USB drive. Also the same ubuntu install cd installs fine to a 10 year old 10 gb non-USB hard drive. So installing to a USB drive seems to be a problem. I don't know if the installer is edgy, but I sure am! Should I just give up on the USB install and you can just publish that ubuntu does not support that option?

It's possible that this is due to a hard disk problem, although it's hard to tell from these log messages: Oct 12 19:12:23 ubuntu kernel: [17180855.336000] EXT2-fs error (device sda3): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 196610 Oct 12 19:12:57 ubuntu kernel: [17180888.992000] EXT2-fs error (device sda3): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 327682 Oct 12 19:14:05 ubuntu kernel: [17180957.276000] EXT2-fs error (device sda3): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 557058 Oct 12 19:15:14 ubuntu kernel: [17181026.336000] EXT2-fs error (device sda3): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 491522 Oct 12 19:15:49 ubuntu kernel: [17181060.540000] init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (400) In any case, the Edgy installer (ubiquity 1.1.19 and newer) ignores this particular error, as it really isn't important, so that fixes this bug. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson -- Operation not permitted: '/target/usr/share/doc/gaim-data' (on an USB drive) https://launchpad.net/bugs/65802 -- Operation not permitted: '/target/usr/share/doc/gaim-data' (on an USB drive) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
