Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
In the advanced options, I set the grub device to an empty string as I did not want my existing grub conf overwritten. The installer crashed at 94% when the grub install failed. The message box displayed contained the following: We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main install(args[0]) File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 56, in install ret = wizard.run() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 310, in run self.process_step() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 879, in process_step self.progress_loop() File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 654, in progress_loop raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s\n%s" % RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1448, in ? install.run() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 385, in run self.configure_bootloader() File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1195, in configure_bootloader raise InstallStepError( InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [Herd2] Installer crashed during Grub install https://launchpad.net/bugs/82816 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
