I just found out, that my Jaunty installation problem is an exact déjà-vu of the 2007 bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/123102/comments/5 (which itself links back as early as 2005 to Bug #14010) in terms of the relevant grub-installer syslog section and I'm almost willing to bet, that it still has the very same, still unfixed cause as it did FOUR years ago.
Why does nobody seem to care to fix show-stopper bugs like this, preventing nothing but Ubuntu's installation itself? Why does everybody seem to care only about the latest gimmicks and eye-candy being added to the desktop, while the foundation obviously is still partly made out of flaky plywood? That btw. recalls fond memories of the Win-95 alleged luxury penthouse sitting on top of a flimsy DOS shack (cudos to c't computer magazine's editorial of that time) ;-) How many decades more does it take, before finally someone in charge cares enough to take on this assignment and fixes this nasty bug for Ubuntu once and for all? -- ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260001 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
