I too echo Ron F's comments. Ever more frustrated by the inept antics of Gates and Balmer I tried Linux again... and was immediately reminded of why I abandoned it a few years ago... Unix is a big hairy mess and putting fancy seats and a stereo on top doesn't change what's under the hood!
People who are conditioned to endlessly twiddle their operating system instead of doing useful things with it can quote command line theories all they want... but when a product is provided to a new user, regardless of how talented and knowledgeable they may become, none of that stuff is any use to them. Thankfully I noticed an "Advanced" button during install that let me direct boot to hd1 or my system, with lots of sophisticated, registered, expensive programs would now be dead... Because I trusted your installation program... This is not a good introduction folks... THE INSTALL SHOULD NOT EXIT STATING IT WAS SUCCESSFUL UNLESS IT WAS ! ! ! ! In the absence of more elegant solutions(!), and even at the cost of bloat and a few more kilometers of semi-useless script, ***IT HAS TO WORK***. Linux installs have been trouble free for many years. I've done at least 7 that ran flawlessly. So why are we hung and having trouble with an antiquated but sort of well proven little thing like GRUB? -- Grub Install Failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
