Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I am using the latest daily livecd from Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 alpha (Fri
Jan 30th 2009). I have an NTFS Windows XP partition on sda1, and created
an XFS partition on sda2, and my swap on an extended partition on sda5.
When the install gets to the point of running grub-install, it fails and
ubiquity exits with a fatal error. I've tracked it down to the block of
code in /usr/sbin/grub-install at line 490:
# On XFS, sync() is not enough.
if [ `grub-probe -t fs ${grubdir}` = "xfs" ] ; then
xfs_freeze -f ${grubdir} && xfs_freeze -u ${grubdir}
# We don't have set -e. If xfs_freeze failed, it's worth trying anyway,
# maybe we're lucky.
fi
grub-probe is unavailable on the live-cd , and when the check fails it
never runs the xfs_freeze. When I changed the partition to JFS,
installation completed successfully.
