Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
Attempting to install Xubuntu Jaunty to replace an existing Kubuntu Intrepid. Because the install was a total failure (separate bug raised) I had to restore from my backups. However, having done so and attempted to reboot, Grub failed with "error 15 file not found". After spending a lot of time trying to reinstall Grub and not getting anywhere, I spotted that the UUID of my root partition had been changed by the install process, so not surprisingly, the UUID in menu.lst was incorrect. Editing this file allowed my computer to boot into the restored system. I would suggest that this shows that changing the UUID of filesystems during installation is an undesirable behaviour. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- jaunty install: formatting root partition changes uuid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
