Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Sorry for just pasting irc-log, but I'm in a real hurry.. Feel free to
edit :)
#ubuntu+1:
(22:04:44) Wellark: ugh.. I just installed kubuntu aplha5 from alternative CD
on my laptop
(22:05:30) Wellark: it's kinda funny as I'm quite sure I didn't see any place
to specify where to install GRUB
(22:06:06) Wellark: my MBR _had_ TrueCrypt bootloader for my Windows and well..
it's gone :/
(22:06:37) Wellark: luckily I have TC recovery CD so I should be able to
restore the MBR
(22:08:26) Wellark: I will try again on spare partition and pay extra
attention.. Does anyone remember where the grup install location could be
changed?
(22:10:51) platius: Wellark; as I remember their is an "advanced" button when
the install syas it is about toformat the partitions
(22:10:58) platius: there
(22:11:20) Wellark: ok. I just might have missed it, but I'll try again
(22:11:52) platius: Wellark; not too intuitive
(22:21:58) Wellark: negative.. manual partitioner didn't have anything related
to grub
(22:40:36) Wellark: ok. after the software installation came "is your system
clock in UTC" and then "Installation is done"
(22:43:32) Wellark: hmm.. pressing "go back" on the last page gives me the list
of different installation stages.. there's "Install the Grub bootloader on a
hard disk" right after "select and install software"
(22:43:57) Wellark: selecting that just installs grub on MBR, no questions asked
(22:45:44) Wellark: there's a message "searching other operating systems" and
it doesn't seem to find any even though there's windows XP installed (crypted
with truecrypt) on /dev/sda1 and another kubuntu installation has it's /boot on
/dev/sda2
(22:47:09) Wellark: I'm thinking the installer fails to find the other OS' and
thinks it's perfectly OK to install to the MBR X|

[Jaunty] installer doesn't ask where to install GRUB and overwrites MBR which
contains TrueCrypt Bootloader
