I have now downloaded Feisty release 2007.01.15 from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20070115/
Again, I confirmed the MD5SUM several times.
The show stoppers are:
a) Feisty's installation program crashes at start.
I press the Install icon but nothing happens.
If I start the installer from the command line, it says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ubiquity --desktop %k gtkui
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 186, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 181, in main
install(args[0])
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 45, in install
mod = __import__('ubiquity.frontend', globals(), locals(), frontends)
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 53, in <module>
from ubiquity.debconfcommunicator import DebconfCommunicator
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/debconfcommunicator.py", line 22, in <module>
import debconf
ImportError: No module named debconf
------------------------------------------------------
So where is this debconf.py module ?
$ locate debconf.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/debconf.py
You can fix this error by adding
sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/')
to "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity" file, just after the first
sys.path.insert(...) line.
So the lines in "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity" look like this:
......
import optparse
sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/lib/ubiquity')
sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/')
from ubiquity import misc
VERSION = '1.3.12'
......
------------------------------------------------------
OK. I could now start the installation from the icon on the desktop.
b) I select the keyboard "Norwegian" and the screen becomes unreadable
(scrambled). The error 1) mentioned in the first email is still there.
Pressed CNTR + ALT + F1 and ALT +F7 to get around it.
c) Moved on to the partitioning and I selected "Manual partitioning" in
the "Prepare disk space" dialog.
It started GParted. But simultaneously it also opened file browser (nautilus)
windows for all existing disk patititions. So I got 5 open file browser
windows on the desktop.

Is this a debugging issue ?
------------------------------------------------------
d) Moved on to the "Prepare mount points" dialog. It was OK, but the list is
unsorted. It would be nice if it sorted the list by mount points or drive
names like this: /media/sda1, /media/sda2,...,/media/sdb1, /media/sdb2,...
See picture: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/install_error3b.png
e) The patititioner started formating the partitions but it crashed after 50
seconds.
See picture: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/install_error3c.png
The show is cancelled !
See:
/var/log/syslog : http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/syslog2.txt
and
/var/log/installer/partman : http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/partman2.txt
-----
I will try again tomorrow ;-)
So long,
