Yep, we've had this problem for a little while now and have been struggling to figure it out. Probably should have said something about it sooner, but I think we all high hopes it would resolve itself more readily. > if anyone wants to check > this out, and file an appropriate bug report Actually, we've had [one of those][1] for a while now. > bug report people > don't like being flagged on plays that aren't in their area. As a "bug report person" I'd rather see a misfiled bug report than no bug report at all. It's trivial to file it somewhere else. If worse comes to worst, as it suggests on the [wiki][2], just file it against lubuntu-meta. > And, system > won't boot to file an "apport-collect" . . . report. This is true. In general, you'll want to use ubuntu-bug/apport to file bugs but if you can't, no problem. All of us "bug people" aren't just a bunch of big heartless meanies XD That said, I'm happy to report that kernel master TJ spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to debug this (he actually logged into a virtual machine with the serial console)— something like 7-8 hours— and finally found the problem which seems ultimately linked to a [change upstream in initramfs-tools][3] and proposed [a fix][4] that I just confirmed fixes the problem. To fix the situation, follow these steps: 1. Boot the live image 2. Open the browser 3. Navigate to the [raw diff][5] of the fix 4. Right click and save it (~/Downloads/D15.diff) 5. Open qterminal 6. Enter `cd /etc/calamares` 7. Enter `sudo patch --strip 2 < ~/Downloads/D15.diff` 8. Run the installer like normal I encourage you to report your results on the bug report and/or the differential revision (aka "the fix"). Thanks for your patience.
