Public bug reported: Reported error was "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' " - a very old Ubiquity bug 42774 has same message but stack trace was completely different at a different point.
Cause: 1. Start Kubuntu CD, select 'Install' from the CD menu 2. Do a manual partition. Drive has NTFS XP at sda2 with a rescue NTFS at sda1 and 40GB free space 3. Added 12G XFS partition at sda5 and swap at sda6 4. Set to install bootloader to sda5 5. Installer progressed and copied files then died with the following stack trace on the 'Configuring Bootloader' screen Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 524, in <module> main(oem_config) File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 511, in main install(query=options.query) File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 242, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 460, in run self.progress_loop() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 863, in progress_loop (ret, realtb)) RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 2566, in <module> install.run() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 418, in run self.configure_bootloader() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1681, in configure_bootloader self.db.input('critical', bootdev) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 65, in <lambda> lambda *args, **kw: self.command(command, *args, **kw)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/debconf.py", line 86, in command status = int(status) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Digression: I should have made /boot at sda3 primary partition which would have allowed me to copy the first 512 bytes of sda3 to a bin file to chain from the XP bootloader. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: iso-testing kubuntu ** Tags added: kubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ubiquity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933433 Title: Kubuntu manual install crashed during bootloader configuration with Python stacktrace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/933433/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
