I've experienced this problem installing 8.04.1 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook. This was repeatable. It also happened when I fell back to installing 8.04.
Should I create a new bug entry because this is Hardy? To recap: - I do a fresh install on this notebook. - I do the partitioning: this is going to replace Fedora Core 4 and co- exist with Fedora Core 6. There is also a never-run WinXP installation partition (i.e. it isn't WinXP, but if it were run, it would install WinXP; as delivered by Dell). - the installation runs to ~90% and then disappears from the desktop as if finished (except we know that that isn't how an installation finishes). - the resulting system is unbootable: grub is not installed, no initrd is installed, no /boot/grub/menu.lst. This, in fact, is how I discovered something was wrong the first time: I didn't notice that the silent termination was in fact a failure. As requested above, I did an installation run after installing "set -x" after the first line of two shell scripts /usr/lib/ubiquity/migration- assistant/ma-ask and /usr/lib/ubiquity/migration-assistant/ma-apply Based on reading the tealeaves in the resulting /var/log/syslog, I decided to hide Fedora Core 6's fstab (I renamed it /etc/fstab.HIDE) and then the 8.04.1 installation worked. As I type this report, I no longer have access to the notebook. I don't have a copy of the fstab. Perhaps the only odd thing was that I had commented out the last line since it referred to the partition that I was taking over for Ubuntu's /home. That line started with #LABEL=/space, I believe. ** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15925454/syslog -- [hardy] Ubiquity crashes with "MigrationAssistantApply failed with code 2" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235794 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
