Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub-installer
Installer crashed I received a message that I report the bug to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+firebug; however, that URL did not work. I encountered the following bug while installing Ubuntu on a new computer, which had never had an operating system previously installed. I had specifed 'gpt' as the disklabel. Asides: - (When repeating the installation on an identical drive using the 'msdos' disk label the installer crash did not occur.) - (The partitioner recommended using the default value of 'msdos'. However, I am completely fed up with Microsoft, and while migrating to Linux, I really did not want to have my new system predicated on MS-DOS. Also, I planned to have eight partitions and preferred to use a disklabel that natively supported more than four.) - (Thus far I have been unable to get rid of the 'gpt' disklabel that I created.) I had edited the partition table and mount points as follows: --- --- 256 MB 256 MB sda1 /boot' 2 GB 2048 MB sda2 /usr' 102 GB 104448 MB sda3 /home' 20 GB 20480 MB sda4 /' 20 GB 20480 MB sda5 '/swap' 2 GB 2048 MB sda6 /var' 20 GB 20480 MB sda7 /download' 20 GB 20480 MB sda8 /temp' ~ 111 GB (remainder) total ~289 GB --- Installing system --- (progress bar) = 94% Running "grub -install (hd0)" ... --- Installer crashed --- (I do not have access to the log files.)
