Carrying on from above: Here's how to patch and install a system safely from the LiveCD (or live USB) of Ubuntu 9.10.
I booted up the LiveCD and patched the live system as above. That made the live system safe to use. I then installed from the LiveCD (no errors - good). However instead of immediately rebooting, I patched the SSD from the live system: $ sudo mkdir /target (In my case it already existed from the install) $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /target $ sudo chroot /target You are now in the new (SSD) system as root, but safely running on the patched LiveCD. Follow the steps above, but leave out 'sudo', because you are root. When finished you can leave chroot by: # exit ------------------ Edit on previous comment: $ sudo /lib/udev/nano devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart (or some other editor of your choice) -- should read: $ sudo nano /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart (or some other editor of your choice) -- devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445852 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
